Note 6.   Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate was 35.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate was 35.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The current year tax rate is higher than the prior year tax rate due primarily to the reduced rate impact of our permanent adjustments as a result of our greater profit before tax.

 

The effective tax rate was 36.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate was 35.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The rate was higher than the prior year nine month tax rate due primarily to the reduced rate impact of our permanent adjustments as a result of our greater profit before tax. We currently estimate our annualized effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 to be 37.0%.
