Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate was 34% and (42%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of income and valuation allowances in various jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to a discrete tax benefit impacting the Company’s valuation allowance resulting from the Simplification Transactions, and the mix of income and valuation allowances in various jurisdictions. The C ompany’s effective tax rate was 26% and 10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the net income allocated to non-redeemable noncontrolling interests and the impact of certain legal entity restructurings. Uncertain Tax Positions The effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements if these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. There have been no material changes to uncertain tax positions since December 31, 2025. Uncertain tax positions are recognized within “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Tax Receivable Agreement On February 7, 2026, the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement to effect, among other things, the Up-C Collapse via a taxable exchange and the assignment and waiver of Rook’s rights under the TRA to the Company. As a result, $121 million of TRA liability was reduced and recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, reflecting the amount of future TRA payments attributable to Rook. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, payments totaling $20 million were made to the Continuing Equity Owners pursuant to the TRA, which are included within “TRA liability payments and other financing activities” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The estimation of liability under the TRA is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of Shift4 Payments, Inc. in the future. Changes in tax laws or rates could also materially impact the estimated liability. Developments in Tax Law In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued model rules for a new global minimum tax framework (“Pillar Two”), and various governments around the world have passed, or are in the process of passing, legislation on this. Certain Pillar Two rules started taking effect in 2024, depending on whether a particular jurisdiction had integrated the legislation into local law. The Company is continuing to monitor these impacts on its operating footprint and estimated an increase in income tax expense associated with jurisdictions that have implemented an Income Inclusion Rule (“IIR”) or a Qualifying Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (“QDMTT”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Furthermore, on January 5, 2026, the OECD released a comprehensive package for a “side-by-side arrangement” (“SbS”) with respect to Pillar Two. This package, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, implements a SbS Safe Harbor. The SbS Safe Harbor deems top-up tax as zero for IIR and Undertaxed Profits Rule (“UTPR”) purposes for eligible U.S.-parented groups, provided the ultimate parent entity’s jurisdiction (currently only the United States) maintains a Qualified SbS Regime with an eligible domestic and worldwide tax system that credits QDMTTs equivalently to other covered taxes. The Company will continue to monitor U.S. and international legislative developments, including further announcements on the side-by-side arrangement, to assess any potential impacts on its operations.
