Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 27, 2021 was a provision of 20.6% and 21.1%. respectively, compared to a provision of 20.3% and a net benefit of 122.1%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior year.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 27, 2021 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, partially offset by state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 27, 2021 was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2020 differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to taxation of foreign earnings at tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate including the impact of the U.S. tax imposed on global intangible low-taxed income and the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income, partially offset by unbenefited foreign losses. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 28, 2020 differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to a $310.9 million discrete net tax benefit related to the loss on the sale of the Medical Aesthetics business.
Non-Income Tax Matters

The Company is subject to tax examinations for value-added, sales-based, payroll, and other non-income tax items. A number of these examinations are ongoing in various jurisdictions. The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company's positions and conclusions related to its non-income tax positions could be challenged, resulting in assessments by governmental authorities. Pursuant to ASC 450, the Company has recorded loss contingencies with respect to some of these positions. While the Company believes estimated losses previously recorded are reasonable, certain audits are still ongoing and additional charges could be recorded in the future.
