For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, income tax expense was $1,078 and $1,067, respectively. The effective consolidated income tax rates were 9% and 22% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to discrete tax items.
SJW Group unrecognized tax benefits, before the impact of deductions of state taxes, excluding interest and penalties, of approximately $9,203 and $9,004 as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
SJW Group currently does not expect uncertain tax positions to change significantly over the next 12 months, except in the case of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
