INCOME TAXESProvision for income taxes increased for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, with an effective tax rate of 23.6% of income before income taxes, compared to 23.1% in the prior-year fiscal quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate comparing the three-month periods ended December 31 was primarily due to the impact of increases in operating income relative to the impact of other items affecting the effective tax rate in the current period.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, provision for income taxes increased compared to the six months ended December 31, 2020, with an effective tax rate of 23.5% of income before income taxes, compared to 22.7% for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in the effective tax rate comparing the fiscal year-to-date periods ended December 31 was primarily due to the relative impact of the increase in operating income in the current fiscal year-to-date period and a larger excess tax benefit received from share-based compensation in the prior fiscal year-to-date period.

The Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $40,687 and $24,794 in the six months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had $9,594 of gross unrecognized tax benefits before interest and penalties, $8,891 of which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of $1,425 and $1,896 related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

The U.S. federal and state income tax returns for fiscal 2018 and all subsequent years remain subject to examination as of December 31, 2021, under statute of limitations rules. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could reduce by $3,500 to $4,500 within twelve months of December 31, 2021, due to lapsing statutes of limitations and examination closures.
