Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for quarterly events. The Company’s quarterly effective tax rate does not reflect a benefit associated with losses related to certain foreign subsidiaries.
For the second quarter of 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was 37.4% compared to 36.4% in the second quarter of 2014. The second quarter 2015 rate was lower than the Company's combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to foreign earnings taxed at a rate lower than our combined estimated federal and state rate. The second quarter 2014 rate was lower than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the resolution of certain tax matters.
For year-to-date 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was 34.6% compared to 37.4% year-to-date of 2014. The year-to-date 2015 rate was lower than the Company's combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the foreign portion of the divestiture of our third-party apparel sourcing business. The year-to-date 2014 rate was lower than the Company’s combined estimated federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the resolution of certain tax matters.
As of August 1, 2015, any unrecognized deferred income tax liability resulting from the Company's undistributed foreign earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries is not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future; furthermore, the undistributed foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. If the Company elects to distribute these foreign earnings in the future, they could be subject to additional income taxes. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these undistributed foreign earnings is not practicable because such liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing if and when remittance occurs.
Income taxes paid were approximately $182 million and $172 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Income taxes paid were approximately $370 million and $369 million for year-to-date 2015 and 2014, respectively.
