Income Taxes


The effective tax rate was (
77.6
)% and
30.4%
for the
nine
month periods ended
December 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016,
respectively. The
108.0
percentage point decrease in the effective tax rate represents the tax rate change which reduced the tax provision by
$3,040,000
due to the recently passed Tax Cut and Jobs Act.  This amount reflects the effect of the rate change on beginning of the year deferred tax balances.
   
 
The Tax Cut and Jobs Act was signed into law on
December 22, 2017
and reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from
35%
to
21%.
