Pinnacle Financial's effective tax rate for 2018 and 2017 differs from the Federal income tax rates primarily due to a state excise tax expense, investments in bank qualified municipal securities, our real estate investment trust, and tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, bank owned life insurance, and our captive insurance subsidiary, offset in part by the limitation on deductibility of meals and entertainment expense, and for 2018, non-deductible executive compensation and FDIC premiums. Pinnacle Financial recognized a charge of $31.5 million in 2017 resulting from the revaluation of its deferred tax assets in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which reduced the corporate Federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.
