Note 16. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was a negative 2.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 25.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate was a negative 6.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 26.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The negative effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were due to no tax benefits being recorded on our U.S., United Kingdom, and other European jurisdictions as a result of recording  a valuation allowance during the second quarter of 2020 against our net deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions due to our belief that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the tax benefits from the current year losses realized in these jurisdictions.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have enacted or are contemplating measures to provide aid and economic stimulus. These measures may include deferring the due dates of tax payments or other changes to income and non-income-based tax

laws. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no material tax impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements as they relate to COVID-19 measures.

We received $6.8 million and $14.7 million of tax refunds in excess of payments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Net cash paid for income taxes was $4.1 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
