INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	11. INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 6.5% and 31.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily impacted by the following items: (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and (ii) a discrete expense of $0.5 million for interest on unrecognized tax positions. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily impacted by the following items: (i) the remeasurement of a forecasted domestic loss at a higher tax rate due to carryback provisions as provided by the CARES Act, (ii) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates along with the exclusion of losses in the US Virgin Islands and India where the Company cannot benefit from those losses as required by ASC 740-270-30-36(a), (iii) discrete items including a $0.5 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions, a $0.4 million expense to record a valuation allowance against an investment write-down which cannot be benefitted for tax purposes, and a $0.3 million benefit (net) related to the remeasurement of existing losses and temporary differences at a higher tax rate due to carryback provisions as provided by the CARES Act. The Company’s effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. The Company’s consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by any transactional or one-time items in the future and the mix of income in any given year generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. While the Company believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from the Company’s accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex application of tax law and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgment by management. Accordingly, the Company could record additional provisions or benefits for US federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available.
