NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, were 21.4 percent and 21.7 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 28, 2020, were 25.7 percent and 21.6 percent, respectively.
The three months ended July 4, 2021, contained unfavorable discrete items of $7 million, primarily due to a $10 million unfavorable statutory change in tax rates, mostly in the UK, partially offset by $3 million of other favorable discrete items.
The six months ended July 4, 2021, contained unfavorable discrete items of $3 million, primarily due to a $10 million unfavorable statutory change in tax rates, mostly in the UK, partially offset by $7 million of other favorable discrete items.
The three months ended June 28, 2020, contained unfavorable discrete items of $14 million, primarily due to changes in tax reserves on certain U.S. tax matters.
The six months ended June 28, 2020, contained $4 million of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to the India Tax Law Change passed in March of 2020, partially offset by unfavorable changes in tax reserves in the second quarter of 2020. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.
