Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, changes in U.S. tax laws were enacted which significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate, implementing a modified territorial tax system, and imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated foreign earnings and profits.

In 2017, the Company recorded a provisional one-time net benefit of $194.1 million as a reasonable estimate of the impact of the changes in U.S. tax laws. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not record any significant changes to its provisional amount. The impact of the changes in U.S. tax laws may be refined as further guidance, interpretations or information becomes available, upon completion by the Company of its evaluation of the impact of the changes in U.S. tax laws or upon the Company’s election of a policy with respect to the deferred tax effects of the Global Intangible Low Tax Income provisions of U.S. tax laws. The Company will finalize its accounting for the impact of changes in the U.S. tax laws in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The Company’s consolidated income tax provision includes taxes attributable to the controlling interest and, to a lesser extent, taxes attributable to the non-controlling interests.
