INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, which included reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 34 percent to 21 percent in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of:

The effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate as follows:
