Coronavirus Tax Relief

The CARES Act was signed into law by the President on March 27, 2020. Among other things, it provides economic relief to individuals and businesses. Tax law changes in the CARES Act impacted the Company in a number of different ways, including enhanced interest expense deductibility for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 resulting from changes to the computation of the related limitation, the ability to carry back net operating losses for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 to the five prior years, including tax years with a 35 percent corporate income tax rate, and a technical correction to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 allowing qualified improvement property to be fully depreciated in the year the property is placed in service.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was 17.5 percent, compared to 15.1 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The effective income tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2022 was 20.7 percent, compared to 10.4 percent for the first half of fiscal 2021. The change in the effective tax rate primarily relates to the recording of the favorable impact of the enactment of the CARES Act, including the release of a valuation allowance for the interest deduction limitation, during the first half of fiscal 2021.

The effective tax rate is subject to change based on the mix of income from different state jurisdictions, which tax at different rates, as well as the change in status or outcome of uncertain tax positions.
