Income Taxes Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in our quarterly financial statements based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate, subject to adjustments for discrete events, should they occur. The effective rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 24.5% and 29.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The effective rates used in the calculation of income taxes were 25.4% and 27.4% for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 versus the prior year periods was primarily related to a discrete item arising from the sale of our Household Cleaning segment in July 2018.

We have revised the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to correct an error in the disclosed amount of income taxes paid in the six months ended September 30, 2018. The correction increased income taxes paid from the previously reported amount of $2.4 million to $7.8 million. We have evaluated the impact of this error and determined it is not material to the previously issued financial statements.
