INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
Our operations are conducted through various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. We have provided for income taxes based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.
We operate in three jurisdictions, Canada, Australia and the U.S., where statutory tax rates range from 15% to 30%. Our effective tax rate will vary from period to period based on changes in earnings mix between these different jurisdictions. 
We compute our quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method by applying an anticipated annual effective rate to our year-to-date income, except for significant unusual or extraordinary transactions. Income taxes for any significant and unusual or extraordinary transactions are computed and recorded in the period in which the specific transaction occurs. As of September 30, 2022, the U.S. was considered a loss jurisdiction for tax accounting purposes and was removed from the annual effective tax rate computation for purposes of computing the interim tax provision. As of September 30, 2021, Canada and the U.S. were considered loss jurisdictions for tax accounting purposes and were removed from the annual effective tax rate computation for purposes of computing the interim tax provision.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $3.7 million, or 37.2% of pretax income, compared to income tax expense of $1.8 million, or 63.4% of pretax income, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was impacted by considering the U.S. a loss jurisdiction that was removed from the annual effective tax rate computation for purposes of computing the interim tax provision. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our effective tax rate was impacted by considering Canada and the U.S. loss jurisdictions that were removed from the annual effective tax rate computation for purposes of computing the interim tax provision. Additionally, under Accounting Standards Codification 740-270, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the quarterly tax provision is based on our current estimate of the annual effective tax rate less the prior quarter’s year to date provision.
Our income tax expense for nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $7.1 million, or 27.8% of pretax income, compared to income tax expense of $2.4 million, or (39.0)% of pretax loss, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was impacted by considering the U.S. a loss jurisdiction that was removed from the annual effective tax rate computation for the purposes of computing the interim tax provision. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 2021 was impacted by considering Canada and the U.S. loss jurisdictions that were removed from the annual effective tax rate computation for the purposes of computing the interim tax provision.
