INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 19.2% of income before income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to 31.1% for the same quarter in fiscal 2018. The significant decrease to the Company's tax rate was primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% due to tax reform enacted December 22, 2017, as well as the increase in excess tax benefits from share-based payments in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
The Company has recognized provisional amounts for tax reform items in its annual and interim financial statements for each reporting period since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") on December 22, 2017, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118"). The staff of the U.S. SEC has recognized the complexity of reflecting the impacts of the TCJA and on December 22, 2017, issued guidance in SAB 118. The guidance clarifies accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 if information is not available or complete and provides for up to a one-year period in which to complete the required analyses and accounting.  As the amounts are finalized during the measurement period, the required adjustments, if any, will be recorded in the quarter when the final amount is determined. No adjustments were recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2018.
The Company paid income taxes of $388 and received refunds of $679 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $747.
At September 30, 2018, the Company had $11,065 of gross unrecognized tax benefits, $10,188 of which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. We had accrued interest and penalties of $1,413 and $1,051 related to uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The U.S. federal and state income tax returns for fiscal year 2015 and all subsequent years remain subject to examination as of September 30, 2018 under statute of limitations rules. We anticipate potential changes due to lapsing statutes of limitations and examination closures could reduce the unrecognized tax benefits balance by $500 - $1,500 within twelve months of September 30, 2018.
