Note 11. Income Taxes:

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was 15.1% and 19.1% of consolidated earnings before income taxes, respectively. The change in the company’s tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to first quarter of fiscal 2020 was driven by discrete tax items.

 

The Company recognized total net benefits related to discrete tax items of $4.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Share-based compensation excess tax benefit contributed $3.3 million and $3.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognized total other immaterial net discrete tax benefits of $0.9 million in the quarter compared to $1.9 million other immaterial net discrete tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2019.   

 

The Company continues to monitor changes in interpretations, assumptions guidance, and additional regulations regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which was enacted on  December 22, 2017. The Company recognizes potential changes to these items could have a material impact on our effective tax rate in future periods.
