INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The income tax benefit $0.8 million and provision of $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2018, respectively, primarily consisted of foreign taxes on our international operations, partially offset by a $3.9 million valuation allowance release in connection with acquisitions. The income tax provisions of $2.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2019, respectively, primarily consisted of foreign taxes on our international operations and U.S. state income taxes. The income tax provision for the nine months ended April 30, 2019 was partially offset by a $5.8 million U.S. valuation allowance release in connection with an acquisition and a tax benefit related to the change in tax law. The net deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with these acquisitions provided an additional source of taxable income to support the realizability of the pre-existing deferred tax assets and as a result, we released a portion of our U.S. valuation allowance. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance for our U.S. Federal and state deferred tax assets.
In December 2017, the U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform proposals affecting businesses, including a federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation, the creation of new minimum taxes, such as the base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT") and Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") tax and a new minimum tax on certain foreign earnings.
In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which allowed us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year from the enactment date. The SAB 118 measurement period ended in December 2018. As such, during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed our analysis based on the current legislative updates related to the TCJA and noted no additional guidance or information that affects the provisional amounts previously recorded. Although our analysis of the tax effects of the TCJA is complete, there may be additional tax effects that could impact our future consolidated financial statements upon the finalization of any laws, regulations or additional TCJA guidance.
In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for the GILTI provisions of the TCJA. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost.
