| Income Taxes | Income Tax Each year NXP makes an estimate of its annual effective tax rate. This estimated annual effective tax rate ("EAETR") is then applied to the year-to-date Income (loss) before income taxes excluding discrete items, to determine the year-to-date benefit (provision) for income taxes. The income tax effects of any discrete items are recognized in the interim period in which they occur. As the year progresses, the Company continually refines the EAETR based upon actual events and the apportionment of our earnings (loss). This continual estimation process periodically may result in a change to our EAETR for the year. When this occurs, we adjust on an accumulated basis the benefit (provision) for income taxes during the quarter in which the change occurs. Our provision for income taxes for 2025 is based on our EAETR of 18.8%, which is lower than the Netherlands statutory tax rate of 25.8%, primarily due to tax benefits from the Netherlands and foreign tax incentives.
The effective tax rate of 20.6% for the first quarter of 2025 was higher than the EAETR due to the income tax expense for discrete items of $11 million. The discrete items are primarily related to the impact of foreign currency on income tax related items, and changes in estimates for previous years. The effective tax rate of 20.6% for the first three months of 2025 was higher compared to the rate for the first three months ended 2024 of 17.9% due to a different mix of the benefit (provision) for income taxes in our operating locations, lower foreign tax incentives in the current period as a result of a decrease in qualifying income, and also due to the impact of the discrete items in the respective periods. |
