Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | 12. Income Taxes The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 20.4% and 20.7%, r espectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 relative to the prior comparable period is primarily driven by favorable audit settlements. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 18.7% and 21.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 relative to the prior comparable period is primarily driven by the favorable audit settlements and the impact of the exclusion of capital loss on the sale of Finder under local law in 2019. Dover and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.S., including various state and local returns, and in other foreign jurisdictions. We believe adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. The Company is routinely audited by taxing authorities in its filing jurisdictions, and a number of these audits are currently underway. The Company believes that within the next twelve months uncertain tax positions may be resolved and statutes of limitations will expire, which could result in a decrease in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately zero to $9.6 million.
