INCOME TAX INCOME TAX

Our effective income tax rates were 19.9% and 19.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 18.4% and 19.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the excess tax benefits of share-based awards that are recognized upon vesting or settlement and the U.S. tax benefits associated with income derived from foreign customers.

We conduct business globally and file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities around the world, including, without limitation, the United States and the United Kingdom. We are no longer subject to state income tax examinations for years ended on or before May 31, 2010, U.S. federal income tax examinations for years ended on or before May 31, 2013 and U.K. federal income tax examinations for years ended on or before May 31, 2015.
