10.  Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for discrete quarterly events. The effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2016 was 36.5% compared to 34.7% for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2015.  The effective income tax rate for the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 was 36.4% compared to 37.0% for the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2015. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2016, and the decrease in the effective income tax rate for the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 was primarily due to prior year income tax settlements, offset by changes to foreign deferred tax assets.

The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company recognizes income tax liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as the result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Unrecognized tax benefits did not change significantly during the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2016.  Over the next twelve months, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $3.3 million due to settlements, expiration of statute of limitations or other changes in unrecognized tax benefits.
