INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 22.4% of income before income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to 23.3% for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the effective tax rate was 21.3%, compared to (9.3)%for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2018. The significant increase in the Company's effective tax rate for the year-to-date period was primarily due to $100,456 of tax benefits recorded in the prior fiscal year for the re-measurement of the net deferred tax liabilities due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") enacted December 22, 2017. This increase is partially offset by the enacted lower corporate income tax rate that became effective January 1, 2018, which resulted in a U.S. statutory rate of approximately 28% for fiscal 2018, and 21% for fiscal 2019. The increase was further offset by increased excess tax benefits from share-based payments in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

The Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $47,644 and $48,301 in the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

At March 31, 2019, the Company had $10,755 of gross unrecognized tax benefits, $10,055 of which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. We had accrued interest and penalties of $1,485 and $1,249 related to uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The U.S. federal and state income tax returns for fiscal 2015 and all subsequent years remain subject to examination as of March 31, 2019 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 $2,500 - $3,500 within twelve months of March 31, 2019.
