12. Income Taxes

The Company has estimated its annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2015 and applied that rate to its income before income taxes in determining its provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company also records discrete items in each respective period as appropriate.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the liability for uncertain tax positions was $7.9 million and $2.8 million respectively. During the six month ended June 30, 2015, the increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions is due to the timing of tax deductions claimed in prior years.
