18. INCOME TAXES

The company’s effective tax rate for the twelve weeks ended July 17, 2021 was 22.7% compared to 24.2% for the twelve weeks ended July 11, 2020.  The decrease in the rate was primarily due to favorable state tax credits recorded discretely in the current year.  During the twelve weeks ended July 17, 2021, the primary differences in the effective rate and the statutory rate were state income taxes including the recognition of discrete state credits.

The company’s effective tax rate for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 17, 2021, was 23.7% compared to 24.0% for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 11, 2020.  The decrease in the rate was primarily due to favorable state tax credits recorded discretely in the current year.  During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 17, 2021, the primary differences in the effective rate and the statutory rate were state income taxes including the recognition of discrete state credits.  

During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 17, 2021, the company’s activity with respect to its uncertain tax positions and related interest expense accrual was not significant to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of July 17, 2021, we do not anticipate significant changes to the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
