    The consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2021 was 15.1% and 16.5%, respectively. The consolidated effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 was affected by a $1.7 million benefit related to a final tax law ruling at a foreign subsidiary. Without this item, the consolidated effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 would have been approximately 21.7% and 22.0%, respectively.

The consolidated income tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2020 was affected by a $4.4 million net tax benefit for final U.S. tax regulations issued for hybrid dividends paid by foreign subsidiaries. Without this discrete item for the final U.S. tax regulations, the consolidated effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2020 would have been approximately 19.2%. Additionally, for the six months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recognized $1.8 million of interest expense related to a settlement of an uncertain tax position at foreign subsidiary.
