Note 17 – Income Taxes

In the first quarter of 2015 we recognized a tax benefit of $32.9 million compared to a tax provision of $11.9 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. Zebra’s effective tax rates were 56.5% and 22.3% as of April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014, respectively. Zebra’s effective tax rate was higher than the statutory rate of 35% in 2015 primarily due to pre-tax losses in the Unites States and pre-tax income in various non-US jurisdictions. Zebra’s effective tax rate in 2014 benefited from lower taxes on income in various non-US jurisdictions.
