Provision for Income Taxes

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2024 was 22.7%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2024 was 24.0%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign tax rate differences which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax.

The overall effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2023 was 21.1%, and the effective income tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2023 was 23.0%. These rates were both favorably impacted by certain foreign rate differences and the mix of earnings between foreign and domestic operations which include certain interest income not subject to corporate income tax. The tax rate for this six-month period includes an unfavorable impact from the vesting of share-based compensation awards.

Within the next 12 months, the Company does not anticipate any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of January 31, 2024.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under exam by certain foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years ended 2016 through 2021. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its exposure to additional payments for uncertain tax positions in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
