Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:
| Three-Month Period Ended |  | Nine-Month Period Ended
| October 1, 2021 |  | October 2, 2020 |  | October 1, 2021 |  | October 2, 2020
Effective tax rate | 16.5 | % |  | 13.5 | % |  | 17.3 | % |  | 18.5 | %
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended October 1, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits of $23 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, audit settlements and a higher tax benefit associated with the pretax expense in the quarter related to the modification and partial termination of a commercial arrangement and resolution of the associated litigation. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 3.2% for the three-month period ended October 1, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits of $143 million related primarily to release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation, audit settlements, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and a higher tax benefit associated with the pretax expense in the quarter related to the modification and partial termination of a commercial arrangement and resolution of the associated litigation, net of changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 2.9% for the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended October 2, 2020 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits related primarily to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions from audit settlements and the expiration of statutes of limitation, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and other items. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 6.1% for the three-month period ended October 2, 2020. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2020 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions from audit settlements and expiration of statutes of limitation and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, partially offset by a higher tax rate associated with the gain on the divestiture of certain product lines in the Life Sciences segment in the second quarter of 2020 and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 1.1% for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2020. For a description of the tax provision for discontinued operations, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. For a description of the Company’s significant tax matters, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 15 thereto included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. Tax authorities in Denmark have issued tax assessments related to interest accrued by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries for the years 2004 through 2015. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received a notice from the Danish tax authorities that included a reduction in the interest amounts imposed in the original tax assessments. Taking into account the revised interest amounts, the assessments total approximately DKK 2.1 billion including interest accrued to date (approximately $328 million based on the exchange rate as of October 1, 2021). The Company’s appeal of the original assessments with the Danish National Tax Tribunal has been put on hold awaiting the final outcome of other preceding withholding tax cases that are to be heard by the Danish High Court. Management believes the positions the Company has taken in Denmark are in accordance with the relevant tax laws and is vigorously defending its positions. The Company intends on pursuing this matter through the Danish High Court should the appeal to the Danish National Tax Tribunal be unsuccessful. While the ultimate resolution of this matter is uncertain and could take many years, taking into account the notice reducing the interest amounts and tax payments previously made related to these assessments, the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter will have a future material adverse impact to the Company’s financial statements, including its cash flow and effective tax rate.
