Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate of 23% and 35% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, differs from the statutory federal tax rate of 34% due primarily to state taxes, differences between U.S. and foreign tax rates, foreign losses incurred with no related tax benefit, non-deductible commissions, and non-deductible meals and entertainment expenses.
Fuel Tech had unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 in the amount of $117, respectively, all of which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce Fuel Tech's annual effective tax rate.
