NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
Our 2021 estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items as of SeptemberÌý30, 2021 is 21%. The estimated annual effective tax rate mirrors the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, as the adjusting items, including percentage depletion in excess of cost depletion, net to zero. The 2020 estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items as of SeptemberÌý30, 2020 was 36%. The decrease in the estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items is driven by the change in income.
