The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21.0% United States federal statutory rate for the three months ended December 27, 2019, and the three months ended December 28, 2018, resulted primarily from foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the federal statutory rate, a benefit from foreign derived intangible income deduction (“FDII”), and research and experimentation and foreign tax credits earned, partially offset by a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), and an increase in tax expense related to a change in the reserve for uncertain tax positions.

The Company operates under a tax holiday in Singapore, which is effective through September 30, 2030. The current tax holiday is conditioned upon the Company’s compliance with certain employment and investment thresholds in Singapore.

Accrued taxes of $26.6 million and $29.7 million have been included in other current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets as of December 27, 2019, and September 27, 2019, respectively.
