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 a benefit of 179.9% for the three months ended October 28, 2016, as compared to a provision of 24.8% for the corresponding period last year. The Company's effective income tax rate was 18.7% for the six months ended October 28, 2016 as compared to 24.6% for the corresponding period last year. The change in tax rates for the three months ended October 28, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period last year, was driven primarily by the impact of lower pretax income. The lower tax rate for the six months ended October 28, 2016, as compared to the corresponding period last year, was driven primarily by the impact of lower pretax income and yearly variances in the forecasted annual rate related to wage credits.
