Note 9 – Income Taxes



The interim 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, and foreign tax credit. Our effective tax rate was 51.1% and 32.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The change between 2019 and 2018 is primarily due to lower pretax income and accrued interest related to uncertain tax benefits.
