The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 28, 2020 were 19.2% and 22.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2020 is lower than expected due to the reduction in tax rate associated with taxes accrued on accumulated earnings in one of our foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, legal entity restructuring resulted in reduced withholding taxes previously accrued in another foreign jurisdiction. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 28, 2020 is higher than expected due to tax on earnings generated outside the U.S.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 30, 2019 were 23.8% and 24.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for all periods is higher than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% to earnings before income taxes primarily due to tax on earnings generated outside of the U.S.
