NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2022 were 16.9% and 15.3%, respectively, as compared to 12.3% and 10.0%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2021. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate for the three month period ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the three month period ended July 2, 2021 was due primarily to a reduction in our uncertain tax positions during the three month period ended July 2, 2021 and the effect of Russia exit and wind down costs for which no tax benefit was recognized in the three month period ended July 2, 2021 . The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate for the six month period ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the six month period ended July 2, 2021 was primarily due to a non-recurring permanent difference on the Q1 2021 gain on our Retained Vontier Shares as a result of the tax-free treatment of our disposition of the shares through the Debt-for-Equity Exchange and increases in certain federal tax benefits for the six month period ended July 2, 2021.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the positive and negative effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), U.S. federal permanent differences, the impacts of credits and deductions provided by law, and a reduction in our uncertain tax positions, and the effect of Russia exit and wind down costs for which no tax benefit was recognized.
