Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Income Tax The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate at the end of each quarterly period. The estimate takes into account the geographic mix of expected pre-tax income (loss), expected total annual pre-tax income (loss), enacted changes in tax laws, implementation of tax planning strategies and possible outcomes of audits and other uncertain tax positions. To the extent there are fluctuations in any of these variables during a period, the provision for income taxes may vary. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company is required to recognize the effect of the Tax Act in the period of enactment, which was the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018 that ended on December 30, 2017. The many changes in the Tax Act include a permanent reduction in the maximum federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective as of January 1, 2018. The statutory federal income tax rate applicable for the Company's fiscal year ending September 29, 2018 is expected to be 24.5% based on a fiscal year blended rate calculation. Because of this reduction in rate, the Company was required to revalue its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the new rate in the Company's first quarter of 2018. The Tax Act also requires a mandatory deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings and profits, at the rate of either 15.5% for cash or 8% for non-liquid assets. As of the end of the second quarter of 2018, the Company has made reasonable estimates of the impact of the Tax Act and, in accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, has recorded a provisional net income tax expense of approximately $162 million, which is comprised of $176 million for remeasurement of the Company’s U.S deferred tax assets, zero for the mandatory deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings and profits, and a tax benefit of $14 million for the conversion to a territorial system. The Company’s actual remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities may vary from the provisional amount because the Company's final analysis will be based on activities through the remainder of the fiscal year. During the remainder of 2018, the Company will continue to analyze the full effects of the Tax Act on the Company's financial statements. The final impact of the Tax Act may differ from the Company's estimate due to, among other things, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, changes in the Company’s interpretations and assumptions, finalization of calculations of the impact of the Tax Act on foreign tax provisions and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act, including the on-going evaluation of the Company's indefinite reinvestment assertions regarding undistributed earnings and profits. Although the Company currently does not expect to be impacted by the mandatory deemed repatriation provision of the Tax Act, due to the complexity of the Company’s international tax and legal entity structure, the Company will continue to analyze the earnings and profits and tax pools of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries to reasonably estimate the effects of the mandatory deemed repatriation provision of the Tax Act over the one-year measurement period. The Tax Act also includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), which imposes taxes on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. These new provisions are effective for the Company in fiscal year 2019. This income will effectively be taxed at a 10.5% tax rate. Because of the complexity of the new provisions, the Company is continuing to evaluate how the provisions will be accounted for under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles whereby companies are allowed to make an accounting policy election of either (i) accounting for GILTI as a component of income tax expense in the period in which the Company is subject to the rules (the “period cost method”), or (ii) accounting for GILTI in the Company’s measurement of deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Currently, the Company has not elected a method and will only do so after completing its analysis of the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act. The Company’s election method will depend, in part, on analyzing the Company’s global income to determine whether the Company expects to have future U.S. inclusions in its taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, the impact that is expected. However, at this time, regardless of the Company’s election method, the Company does not expect the impact of GILTI to be material to the Company’s tax rate or to incur additional cash taxes as a result of GILTI. The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 was $17 million (41% of income before taxes) and $25 million (44% of income before taxes), respectively, and $183.1 million (347% of income before taxes) and $35.0 million (31% of income before taxes) for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017, respectively. Income tax expense for 2018 on a year-to-date basis was primarily attributable to the estimated impact of the Tax Act, which resulted in a net increase to income tax expense of approximately $162 million. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a discrete tax benefit resulting from the merger of two foreign entities, the surviving entity of which was, and continues to be, included in the Company’s U.S. federal consolidated tax group. This restructuring allowed the Company to recognize a U.S. deferred tax asset to reflect the federal deductibility of a foreign uncertain tax position that became recognizable upon the merger of the subsidiaries.
