Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES

Our quarterly tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual tax rate that is adjusted for discrete items occurring during the period to arrive at our effective tax rate. During the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, we had effective tax rates of 23.6% and 26.4%, respectively, resulting in provisions for taxes of $8.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. There were no significant discrete items that impacted our effective tax rate during either period.

We plan to reinvest our foreign earnings to fund future non-U.S. growth and expansion, and we do not anticipate remitting such earnings to the United States. While U.S. federal tax expense has been recognized as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, no deferred tax liabilities with respect to federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes have been recognized.
