Note 9 – Income Taxes 

The provision for income taxes is different from the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to consolidated income before taxes.  The differences are attributable to foreign tax rate differential, unrecognized tax benefits, change in valuation allowance, and non-taxable insurance proceeds. Our effective tax rate was 26.0% and 31.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The change between 2017 and 2016 is primarily related to non-taxable income from insurance proceeds received in 2017 relating to our demolished Courtenay Central parking structure in Wellington, New Zealand.
