NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

 

The Company's 2016 and 2015 effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal tax rate due principally to state income taxes partially offset by tax benefits related to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The Company’s effective income tax rate in both the three and six months ended July 2, 2016 was 36.0%. The Company’s effective income tax rate in the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 was 35.6% and 35.8%, respectively.

 

Income tax payments for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016 totaled $16.3 million and $20.9 million, respectively. Income tax payments for both the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 totaled $12.4 million.

  

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

 

The Company does not believe it has included any “uncertain tax positions” in its federal income tax return or any of the state income tax returns it is currently filing. The Company has made an evaluation of the potential impact of additional state taxes being assessed by jurisdictions in which the Company does not currently consider itself liable. The Company does not anticipate that such additional taxes, if any, would result in a material change to its financial position.
