INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 23.1% and 23.2% of income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the effective tax rate was 22.7% and 24.0%, respectively. The decrease in the Company's fiscal year-to-date tax rate was primarily due to the difference in impact of share-based compensation that vested during each of the periods.

The Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $24,794 and $26,262 in the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had $11,314 of gross unrecognized tax benefits, $10,496 of which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of $1,896 and $1,883 related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The U.S. federal and state income tax returns for fiscal 2017 and all subsequent years remain subject to examination as of December 31, 2020 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 $3,500 to $4,500 within twelve months of December 31, 2020.
