INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates were 27.4% and 11.8% in the three months and 23.2% and 11.4% in the six months 2018 and 2017. The increase in the effective income tax rates in the three and six months 2018 is primarily due to an additional $57 of transition tax associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) of 2017 and restructuring-related activities to integrate recent acquisitions.
In December 2017 we recorded a provisional transition tax charge and a change in deferred tax accounts associated with the Act. Subsequent to the Act being signed into legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to provide guidance that allows provisional amounts associated with the Act to be updated during a measurement period ending December 22, 2018. Our accounting for the impact of the Act is not considered complete and the final impact of the Act may differ from our estimates due to changes in interpretation of the Act, additional legislative action, or guidance issued by tax authorities or regulatory bodies.
