NOTE
6.
INCOME TAXES
 
On a quarterly basis, we estimate what our effective tax rate will be for the full fiscal year and record a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate. As the year progresses, we refine our estimate based on the facts and circumstances, including discrete events, by each tax jurisdiction. Our effective tax rate for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2021
and
2020
was
31%
and
18%,
respectively.
 
On
March 11, 2021,
the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) was signed and includes several provisions, such as measures that extend and expand the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), previously enacted under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, through
December 31, 2021.
Companies who have received PPP are
not
precluded from this program. We are still in the process of reviewing but believe we meet the criteria for revenue reduction and the number of monthly average employees, which qualifies us for the credit. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2021,
we did
not
record a benefit related to the ERC. We plan to apply for the credit, however we are still completing the computation. This is
not
tax deductible and is thus included in our calculation of the
2021
tax rate.
