The effective rate is lower than the statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to benefits from global tax planning, notional interest deductions, foreign tax rate differentials, and foreign exchange, partially offset with a first quarter fiscal 2017 tax law change in Hungary, repatriation of foreign earnings, and changes in uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances. No items included in the other category are individually, or when appropriately aggregated, significant.
The foreign tax rate differential benefit is primarily driven by the pretax book income of nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates whose corresponding income tax expense is netted against equity income on the consolidated statements of income. Excluding nonconsolidated partially-owned affiliates, foreign tax rate differentials have a $21 million favorable impact on the effective tax rate as a result of losses earned in jurisdictions where the statutory rate is greater than 12.5%.
