Income Taxes Income Taxes
        The Company computes its provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year to date income before income taxes and equity in income of affiliated companies and adjusts for discrete tax items recorded in the period.

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for the respective fiscal years, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

        Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 is $56.1 million and $123.0 million, respectively, compared to $28.0 million and $80.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

        The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 increased by 3.4 percentage points compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2019, from 18.5% to 21.9%. The increase in income tax provision and the increase in the effective tax rate was primarily related to non-deductible restructuring and transaction costs and the increase of operating income earned in higher tax jurisdictions as a result of the Bemis acquisition.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act")

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes financial measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act, but does not believe it will have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
