The Company’s effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 were 21.9% and 38.5%, respectively, with the decrease primarily due to the absence of a $30.8 million expense related to a change in tax rate applied to deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom and certain nondeductible compensation related charges associated with the Company's PA Consulting investment in the three months ended July 2, 2021, as well as a current period benefit of $9.1 million the Company recognized due to the reversal of a withholding tax accrual on certain intercompany loans, partly offset by increases in permanent book/tax adjustments, state taxes, and foreign inclusions for the three month period in fiscal 2022. Additionally, a $15.6 million payment was made during the current quarter related to an amendment of an Australia tax return, which resulted in the removal of the associated uncertain tax position from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This payment had no impact on the current quarter income tax provision or effective tax rate.
The Company's effective tax rates from continuing operations for the nine months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 were 20.4% and 33.4%, respectively, with the decrease primarily due to a current year tax benefit of $15.4 million related to the release of valuation allowance on foreign tax credits and $9.1 million related to the reversal of intercompany withholding tax noted above, as well as the absence of prior year expenses related to the United Kingdom’s change in tax rate mentioned above and certain non-deductible pre-tax compensation charges associated with our investment in PA Consulting, partly offset by the absence of the benefit from the change in the Company’s assertion about indefinite reinvestment of certain foreign unremitted earnings in India in fiscal 2021.
The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by tax jurisdictions around the world. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of the relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at the time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact our effective tax rate.
