Maximum number of days within which the Company is required to purchase the shares of Visa Europe put option 285 days  
Fair value adjustment for Europe put option $ 10,000,000,000v_FairValueAdjustmentforEuropePutOption  
[1] The put option is exercisable at any time at the sole discretion of Visa Europe with payment required 285 days thereafter. Classification in current liabilities is not an indication of management’s expectation of exercise and simply reflects the fact that the obligation resulting from the exercise of the instrument could become payable within 12 months. The fair value of the put option does not represent the actual purchase price that the Company may be required to pay if the option is exercised, which would likely be in excess of $10 billion.
[2] The increase in current accrued income taxes is primarily related to current income taxes accrued in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, but payable in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
