Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 11. INCOME TAXES We adjust our effective tax rate each quarter based on our estimated annual effective tax rate. We also record the tax impact of certain discrete, unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. Income tax was expense of $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an effective income tax rate of 10.2%, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an effective income tax rate of 1.3%. Income tax expense was $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an effective income tax rate of 3.1%, as compared to $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an effective income tax rate of 7.6%. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is higher than our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the impact of discrete income tax items recognized in the second quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2018, we recognized a discrete tax benefit as a result of finalizing an advance pricing agreement in a foreign jurisdiction, which resulted in a reduction of our liability for unrecognized income tax benefits and related interest and penalties of $20.0 million. Also in the second quarter of 2018, we recognized a discrete tax expense related to the sale of the aftermarket business associated with our former Powertrain segment. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is lower than our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, a one-time transition tax (Transition Tax) was imposed on certain foreign earnings for which U.S. income tax was previously deferred. The Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations on February 5, 2019 regarding the Transition Tax, which changed the manner in which we are required to compute the Transition Tax when it is recognized over a two-year period. The application of the final regulations resulted in a $9.3 million income tax benefit, which has been recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2019, the period in which the final regulations were issued. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was also impacted by the net effect of the discrete items discussed for the three months ended June 30, 2018 above. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our effective income tax rates vary from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to favorable foreign tax rates, as well as the impact of tax credits and the effect of the discrete items described above. We operate in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world and the income tax returns of several subsidiaries in various tax jurisdictions are currently under examination. We are currently under a U.S. federal income tax examination for the year 2015. We continue to have years subject to income tax examination in certain significant tax jurisdictions from 2013 to present. Based on the status of ongoing tax audits, and the protocol of finalizing audits by the relevant tax authorities, it is not possible to estimate the impact of changes, if any, to previously recorded uncertain tax positions. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have recorded a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits and related interest and penalties of $51.3 million and $45.6 million, respectively. During the next 12 months, we may finalize an advance pricing agreement in a foreign jurisdiction, which could result in a cash payment to the relevant tax authorities and a reduction of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties. Although it is difficult to estimate with certainty the amount of any audit settlement, we do not expect any potential settlement to be materially different from what we have recorded in unrecognized tax benefits. We will continue to monitor the progress and conclusions of all ongoing audits and other communications with tax authorities, and will adjust our estimated liability as necessary.
