INCOME TAXES
The Company calculates its interim income tax provision by estimating the annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings. The Company's effective tax rate for the 13-week period ended July 1, 2017 was 41.1%, which resulted in a provision of $14.8 million, while the effective tax rate for the 13-week period ended July 2, 2016 was 40.7%, which resulted in a provision of $14.8 million. The Company's effective tax rate for the 26-week period ended July 1, 2017 was 41.7%, which resulted in a provision of $10.0 million, while the effective tax rate for the 26-week period ended July 2, 2016 was 41.0%, which resulted in a provision of $8.7 million. This rate increase primarily was driven by Canadian net operating losses not expected to be benefited in the tax provision and by transaction costs not estimated to be deductible.
The Company maintains valuation allowances against its California Enterprise Zone credits in the amount of $4.1 million, against its South Carolina state tax credits in the amount of $0.6 million, and against its Canadian net deferred tax assets in the amount of $1.4 million. The Company continues to monitor and adjust these valuation allowances based on current evaluations of its ability to realize these deferred tax assets.
During the 13-week period ended July 1, 2017, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million of expense related to uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties. The Company also recognized less than $0.1 million of tax expense relating to stock compensation.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and cities, Puerto Rico and Canada. The Company has substantially settled all federal income tax matters through 2012, as well as all state and foreign jurisdictions through 2011 and 2008, respectively.
