The three months ended October 3, 2021, contained favorable discrete items of $11 million, primarily due to a $16 million favorable release of tax reserves associated with the settlement of tax positions, partially offset by $5 million of unfavorable return to provision adjustments.
The nine months ended October 3, 2021, contained favorable discrete items of $8 million, primarily due to an $18 million favorable release of tax reserves associated with the settlement of tax positions, partially offset by $10 million of unfavorable statutory changes in tax rates, mostly in the U.K.
The three months ended September 27, 2020, contained unfavorable discrete items of $31 million, primarily due to $17 million of changes in tax reserves, $8 million of provision to return adjustments relating to tax returns filed for 2019 and $6 million of net other discrete items.
The nine months ended September 27, 2020, contained $27 million of unfavorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $34 million of unfavorable changes in tax reserves and $8 million of provision to return adjustments, partially offset by $15 million of favorable tax changes due to the India Tax Law Change passed in March of 2020.
