11. INCOME TAXES The Company’s provision for income taxes was $20.5 million and $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts reflect effective tax rates of 8.2% and 8.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate of 8.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflects the Company’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the period and was impacted by certain favorable discrete items totaling $28.1 million, primarily related to $28.3 million of excess tax benefits recognized on share-based compensation vested during the period. The effective tax rate of 8.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects the Company’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the period and was impacted by certain favorable discrete items totaling $22.3 million, primarily related to $20.4 million of excess tax benefits recognized on share-based compensation vested during the period. The Company is under or open to examination by the IRS and other tax authorities in certain jurisdictions, including foreign jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Switzerland and India, and states in the United States in which the Company has significant operations, such as New York and California. The tax years currently under or open to examination vary by jurisdiction but include years ranging from 2008 onwards. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of additional assessments in each of the taxing jurisdictions in which it files income tax returns. The Company has established unrecognized tax benefits that the Company believes are adequate in relation to the potential for additional assessments. Once established, the Company adjusts unrecognized tax benefits only when more information is available or when an event occurs necessitating a change. Based on the current status of income tax audits, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized benefits may decrease by approximately $28.6 million in the next twelve months as a result of the resolution of tax examinations. |
