Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of $18.1 and $13.0, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 31.9% and 27.5%. The higher effective tax rate in 2015 is primarily driven by a pre-tax loss from operations in Germany for which no income tax benefit is recorded. The Company continues to benefit from earnings eligible for the tax holiday in Korea, as well as a larger mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with favorable tax rates. The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including Germany, Italy, Korea, the United Kingdom and the U.S. The U.S. federal income tax audit for the years 2009 through 2011 has received Joint Committee on Taxation review. We anticipate that we will receive the final audit report within the current year. The calculation of our tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits includes dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. The settlement of an examination could result in changes in amounts attributable to us through the Tax Matters Agreement entered into with Exelis, Inc. and Xylem, Inc. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $86.6 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events.
