Note 11 Income Taxes

For each interim reporting period, we make an estimate of the effective tax rate we expect to be applicable for the full year for our operations. This estimated effective tax rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. Our effective tax rate was as follows:

 

 

 

Three Months Ended March 31,

 

 

2022

 

2021

Effective tax rate

 

22.7%

 

(10.9)%

 

The fluctuation in the effective tax rate over the periods presented above was primarily attributable to a jurisdictional mix of income between periods. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to benefits derived from stock-based compensation, the U.S. foreign-derived intangible income deduction, tax credits available in the U.S., and income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory tax rate.

We are subject to taxation in the United States (federal, state, local) and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2022, tax years 2019 through 2022 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.

Pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), as of each balance sheet date, we assess uncertain tax positions to determine whether factors underlying the sustainability assertion have changed.
