Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was 31.2%, compared to 40.9% for the same respective period last year. The tax rates for the first quarters of fiscal 2016 and 2015 were primarily driven by losses incurred at certain foreign subsidiaries for which the Company does not receive tax benefits and foreign earnings in jurisdictions with tax rates that vary from the U.S. statutory rate. The tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 also included the reversal of previously recorded reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the Company’s IRS audit for its 2009-2010 consolidated income tax returns.

For the three months ended September 27, 2015, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.2 million, all of which impacted the current effective tax rate.

Income tax returns are filed in the U.S., state, and foreign jurisdictions and related audits occur on a regular basis.  In the U.S., the Company is currently under audit for the fiscal years 2010 and 2013, and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before fiscal 2010.  The Company is also currently under audit by various state and foreign jurisdictions.  With respect to the Company's major foreign jurisdictions, they are no longer subject to tax examinations for years before fiscal 2005.
