Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”) requires companies to apply their estimated annual effective tax rate on a year-to-date basis in each interim period. These rates are derived, in part, from expected annual pre-tax income or loss. In the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2021 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020, the Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to the interim period pre-tax loss to calculate the income tax benefit.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2021, the effective income tax rate was 15.1% and 19.7%, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2021 of $5,798 and an income tax benefit for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2021 of $11,023. The effective tax rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2021 was the result of an estimated increase in GILTI from the Company's Canadian operations, state and foreign income taxes, non-deductible transaction expenses, non-deductible loss on the Company's warrant liability, and non-deductible stock compensation.
For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020, the effective income tax rate was 22.9% and 18.4%, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020 of $2,758 and $(2,374), respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020 was primarily due to non-deductible stock compensation, and state and foreign income taxes.On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law by the President of the United States. The CARES Act included, among other things, corporate income tax relief in the form of accelerated alternative minimum tax ("AMT") refunds, allowed employers to defer certain payroll tax payments throughout 2020, and provided favorable corporate interest deductions for the 2020 reporting period.
