INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 27.4 percent and 24.4 percent, respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to geographical mix, partially offset by discrete tax benefits recorded in the current year quarter related to provision to return adjustments.
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 15.5 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively. The year-over-year change is primarily due to adjustments for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 that include a $7.8 million benefit related to a tax rate change enacted in Switzerland, a $6.2 million benefit associated with a change in unrecognized tax benefits and a $2.9 million charge to settle tax litigation in Italy, coupled with a $2.2 million benefit in the nine months ended March 31, 2023 to adjust a deferred tax asset associated with tax reform in Switzerland and geographical mix.
As of March 31, 2024, we have $6.8 million of net deferred tax assets in China. Included in this amount is $3.3 million related to net operating losses that can be used to offset future taxable income in China. Certain of these loss carryforwards will expire if they are not used within a specified timeframe. At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income in China in the future that will allow us to realize these deferred tax assets not currently offset by the valuation allowance. However, it is possible that some or all these tax attributes could ultimately expire unused. Therefore, if we are unable to generate sufficient taxable income in China from our operations, a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets may be required, which would increase income tax expense in the period in which the valuation allowance is recorded.
