INCOME TAXES
8. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate may vary from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the change in the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions with different statutory rates, benefits related to tax credits, and the tax impact of non-deductible expenses and other permanent differences between income (loss) before income taxes and taxable income.
Our effective tax rate for Q1 2025 was 27.9% compared to (15.3)% in Q1 2024. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% in Q1 2025 was primarily because of the $10 million income tax expense impact of capitalizing research and development expenses for tax purposes. The income tax rate in Q1 2025 was favorably impacted by the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, such as in Singapore.
As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, prepaid income taxes, included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, were $50 million and $74 million, respectively.
