9.Income Taxes



The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of  January 1, 2017, the Company's other long-term liabilities account includes $40.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits of which approximately $17.7 million would favorably impact its effective income tax rate in future periods if the Company's positions on these tax matters are upheld.  The Company's policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Included in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $2.6 million accrued for interest at January 1, 2017.



The effective tax rate increased from 19.5% to 23.8% for the three months ended January 1, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a discrete benefit related to the permanent reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in the December quarter of fiscal year 2016.
