11. Income taxes

As of December 25, 2015 and June 26, 2015, the liability for uncertain tax positions including accrued interest and penalties was $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The Company expects the estimated amount of liability associated with its uncertain tax positions to decrease within the next 12 months due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations in foreign tax jurisdictions.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and foreign tax jurisdictions. The tax years from 2011 to 2015 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities, and foreign tax authorities. The Company’s income tax is recognized based on the best estimate of the expected annual effective tax rate for the full financial year of each entity in the Company, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. If the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter.

The effective tax rate for the Company for the three months ended December 25, 2015 and December 26, 2014 was 6.1% and 10.5% of net income, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 25, 2015 was primarily due to the fact that the Company had lower taxable income during the three months ended December 25, 2015 as compared to the three months ended December 26, 2014 because of an increase in unrealized gain from changes in the fair value of derivatives during the three months ended December 25, 2015, which are not subject to tax.

The effective tax rate for the Company for the six months ended December 25, 2015 and December 26, 2014 was 10.7% and 9.2% of net income, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 25, 2015 was primarily due to the fact that the Company had higher taxable income during the six months ended December 25, 2015 as compared to the six months ended December 26, 2014, due to the expiration of a tax privilege of the Company’s subsidiary in Thailand.
