NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was 26.7% as compared to 30.8% for the three months ended April 1, 2016. The difference in effective tax rates between the periods is primarily attributable to greater federal and international tax benefits. Our effective tax rates for 2017 and 2016 differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to our earnings outside the United States that are indefinitely reinvested and taxed at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate and the impact of credits and deductions provided by law.
