Income Taxes

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we filed an election with the Internal Revenue Service to treat a U.K. subsidiary as a disregarded entity such that its assets were deemed to be assets held directly by a U.S. entity for U.S. tax purposes. This tax-only election resulted in the elimination of our outside basis difference in the U.K. subsidiary. Additionally, the election resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset (and corresponding income tax benefit) for the remaining unrecognized inside tax basis in the U.K. subsidiary’s intangible asset. Excluding the $353 million income tax benefit related to this election, our effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 would have been 37.3%. See Note 10, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015, for additional information.
