The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pre-tax income of the Company in each tax jurisdiction in which it operates, and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, the Company’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits, and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.
 
Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $18.9 million, or 28.6 percent of pre-tax loss as compared with income tax expense of $12.9 million, or 23.8 percent of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 includes discrete tax benefits of $2.0 million associated with the debt prepayment costs and $2.4 million for the impact of restructuring and asset impairment charges. Additionally, the anticipated benefit for the carryback of the current year net operating loss to fiscal years with higher tax rates is included in this period. Also included are the unfavorable impact of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized as well as a tax charge of $1.2 million attributable to employee share-based compensation. Income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2019 included the impact of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized as well as tax benefits of $0.4 million attributable to employee share-based compensation.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act established new provisions, including but not limited to, expanded deduction of certain qualified capital expenditures, delayed payment of certain employment taxes, expanded use of net operating losses, reduced limitations on deductions of interest expense and extension of funding for defined benefit plans. The net operating loss provision is expected to provide incremental tax benefits of approximately $7.0 million due to the higher tax rates in the expanded carryback period. The other provisions in the CARES Act are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
