Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 24.8% for the three months ended October 23, 2015, as compared to 11.3% for the corresponding period a year ago. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 24.6% for the six months ended October 23, 2015, as compared to 4.5% for the corresponding period a year ago. The increase in tax rate for the three and six months ended October 23, 2015, was driven primarily by discrete items recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 related to the work opportunity tax credit, plus the impact of yearly variances in the forecasted annual rate related to wage credits and officers' life insurance.
