Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
The Company's effective tax rate, which is calculated by dividing each fiscal period's income tax provision by pretax income, was 20.1% and 18.0% during the three-month periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were lower than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the favorable impact of the proportion of earnings generated in lower taxed foreign jurisdictions versus the U.S.
Uncertain Income Tax Benefits
The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax provision. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $77.9 million and $78.8 million as of June 29, 2019 and March 30, 2019, respectively, and is included within non-current liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate was $69.7 million and $70.7 million as of June 29, 2019 and March 30, 2019, respectively.
Future Changes in Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, settlements of ongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, the Company does not anticipate that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will change significantly during the next twelve months. However, changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes, and timing of such events could cause the Company's current estimate to change materially in the future.
The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as tax returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is generally no longer subject to examinations by the relevant tax authorities for years prior to its fiscal year ended March 30, 2013.
