Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision on income before income taxes, including income (loss) from operating affiliates, resulted in an effective tax rate of 7.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 12.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The Company’s effective tax rate, which is based upon the expected annual effective tax rate, may fluctuate from period to period based on the relative mix of income or loss reported by jurisdiction and the varying tax rates in each jurisdiction.
The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $93.0 million at June 30, 2021, compared to a net deferred tax asset of $15.7 million at December 31, 2020. The change is primarily a result of mortgage contingency reserves activity and market value fluctuations in the investment portfolio. In addition, the Company paid $141.1 million and $10.4 million of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
