Income Taxes
For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year for its continuing operations. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s effective tax rate through the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was 45%, compared with 30% for the same period of fiscal 2015. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in U.S federal tax credits applied against forecasted domestic results in fiscal 2016 as well as discrete tax benefits of $568 primarily related to the tax effects of legislation enacted during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, applied against a year-to-date loss. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to (i) application of U.S. tax credits (ii) income and losses in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory tax rate, and (iii) the tax effects of legislation enacted during the year.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Ireland, Italy, and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company believes it has appropriate support for its federal income tax returns.
