Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reflected effective tax rates of 53.6% and 0.8%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of losses in jurisdictions with a full valuation allowance, offset in part by a favorable change in forecasted earnings mix. The increase also relates to one-time benefits, which were recorded in 2019, for the finalization of previously estimated tax liabilities based on the filing of tax returns.
Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reflected effective tax rates of (1.7)% and 10.3%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of nondeductible goodwill impairments, offset in part by a favorable change in forecasted earnings mix.
Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than in the United Kingdom.
