INCOME TAXES

Income tax provision consists of the following components (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	December 27, 2013			December 28, 2012
United States income taxes	$	23.7		$	17.8
Foreign income taxes	(2.2		)	2.5
Provision for income taxes	$	21.5		$	20.3

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate of 18.5% and the 35% United States federal statutory rate for the three months endedDecember 27, 2013, resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the United States federal statutory rate, the domestic production activities deduction, and a tax benefit related to an adjustment to the Company's deferred taxes in Mexico as a result of a change in Mexican tax law, partially offset by an increase in the Company's tax expense related to a change in the Company's reserve for uncertain tax positions.

In December 2013, Mexico enacted a comprehensive tax reform package, which became effective on January 1, 2014. As a result of this change, the Company adjusted its deferred taxes in that jurisdiction resulting in the recognition of a tax benefit that reduced the Company's foreign income tax expense by $4.5 million for the three months ended December 27, 2013.

The difference between the Company's effective tax rate of 23.4% and the 35% United States federal statutory rate for the three months endedDecember 28, 2012, resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate and the domestic production activities deduction, partially offset by an increase in the Company's tax expense related to a change in the Company's reserve for uncertain tax positions.
