6. Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations were 20.5% and 17.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rates in fiscal years 2021 and 2020 reflect the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% adjusted for foreign rate differences, benefits associated with local tax incentives, changes in valuation allowances and liabilities for uncertain tax positions, and tax benefits on stock-based compensation awards.

Three of Adtalem’s operating units benefit from local tax incentives: AUC, which operates in St. Maarten, RUSM, which operates in Barbados, and RUSVM, which operates in St. Kitts. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives. RUSM and RUSVM each have agreements with their respective domestic governments that exempt them from local income taxation. RUSM has an exemption in Barbados until 2039. RUSVM has an exemption in St. Kitts until 2037.
