Note 12: Income Taxes

 

Our effective tax rates for continuing operations for the second quarter and six months ended October 24, 2015, were 36.2% and 36.1%, respectively, compared with 35.3% for both the second quarter and six months ended October 25, 2014. Our effective tax rate varies from the 35% statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, less the benefit of the U.S. manufacturing deduction and foreign earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S.

 

Our consolidated balance sheet at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016 reflected a $0.9 million net liability for uncertain income tax positions. We do not expect this net liability to change significantly in the next 12 months. We will either pay or release the liability for uncertain income tax positions as tax audits are completed or settled, statutes of limitation expire or other new information becomes available.
