TAXES ON INCOME | TAXES ON INCOME For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the effective tax rate was impacted by a non-taxable gain on an escrow recovery associated with an acquisition and other discrete tax benefits. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was impacted by the higher tax rate associated with the $334 million gain on disposition of business as a result of the Company's contribution of its clinical trials testing business to Q 2 Solutions, the clinical trials joint venture with Quintiles Transnational Holdings Inc. ("Clinical Trials Contribution"), and other discrete tax benefits. In connection with the Clinical Trials Contribution, the Company recorded a $145 million deferred income tax liability.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was impacted by the higher tax rate associated with the Clinical Trials Contribution and other discrete tax benefits.
