Income Taxes	Note 17 — Income Taxes For the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income taxes of $2,619 and $3,647 on income before income taxes of $12,527 and $12,188, respectively. For the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income taxes of $8,254 and $8,291 on income before income taxes of $33,403 and $30,928, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 was 20.9% and 29.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 was 24.7% and 26.8%, respectively. On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act impacted the U.S. statutory Federal tax rate that the Company will be subject to going forward, reducing it from 35% to 21%. The Company applied this U.S. statutory Federal rate of 21% for both the quarters and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019. During the quarter ended November 30, 2018 (the first quarter of fiscal 2019), the Company began recognizing an additional component of total Federal tax expense, the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision of the Tax Act, which became applicable to the Company in fiscal 2019. The Company elected to account for GILTI as a period cost, and therefore included GILTI expense in the effective tax rate calculation. This provision did not have a material effect on the effective tax rate for the quarters and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company concluded that the Base Erosion and Anti Abuse Tax (“BEAT”) provision of the Tax Act, which also became applicable to the Company in fiscal 2019, had no effect on its effective tax rate for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2020 and 2019. Additionally, the Company is deferring the application of Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) for the current period, in anticipation of further guidance and the establishment of industry standards by the U.S. Treasury Department and trade associations.
