Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Effective Tax Rate The Company's effective tax rate, which is calculated by dividing each fiscal period's provision for income taxes by pretax income, was 29.0% and 31.1% during the three-month periods ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. The effective tax rates in both periods were lower than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% principally as a result of the proportion of earnings generated in lower taxed foreign jurisdictions versus the U.S. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2015 was favorably impacted by the reversal of certain tax reserves due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, partially offset by additional tax reserves largely associated with the conclusion of a tax examination. Uncertain Income Tax Benefits The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of its provision for income taxes. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $102 million and $116 million as of June 27, 2015 and March 28, 2015, respectively, and is included within non-current liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets. The reduction in unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, primarily related to the reversal of $9 million of tax reserves due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and tax audit settlements of $8 million, partially offset by additional tax reserves associated with the conclusion of a tax examination. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate was $75 million and $85 million as of June 27, 2015 and March 28, 2015, respectively. Future Changes in Unrecognized Tax Benefits The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, settlements of ongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, the Company does not anticipate that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will change significantly during the next twelve months. However, changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes, and timing of such events could cause the Company's current estimate to change materially in the future. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as tax returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is generally no longer subject to examinations by the relevant tax authorities for years prior to its fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
