(8) Taxes

The Company reduced its provision for income taxes by $5.6 million for the period ended September 24, 2022 primarily due to the effects of Pennsylvania House Bill 1342 which was enacted on July 8, 2022. The bill made significant changes to the Commonwealth’s corporate income tax laws which included lowering the tax rate gradually from 9.99% in 2022 to 4.99% in 2031, updating market sourcing rules, and codifying the economic nexus standard.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.2% and 27.2% for the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 22.9% and 26.7% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate, primarily due to the effect of state taxes, net of permanent differences.
