Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax (benefit) expense was ($9,814) and $3,179 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense is attributable to reporting a loss for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to a profit for the same prior year period. We have losses in certain jurisdictions where we are able to recognize a tax benefit in the current period, but for which the cash benefit is expected to be realized in a future period. However, we do expect to owe cash taxes in certain jurisdictions despite the recognition of a consolidated loss during the quarter. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a tax benefit of $4,189 due to share-based compensation as compared to $761 for the same prior year period. On October 1, 2013, we made changes to our corporate entity operating structure, including transferring our intellectual property among certain of our subsidiaries, primarily to align our corporate entities with our evolving operations and business model. The transfer of assets occurred between wholly owned legal entities within the Cimpress group that are based in different tax jurisdictions. As the impact of the transfer was the result of an intra-entity transaction, any resulting gain or loss and immediate tax impact on the transfer is eliminated and not recognized in the consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The transferor entity recognized a gain on the transfer of assets that was not subject to income tax in its local jurisdiction. Our subsidiary based in Switzerland was the recipient of the intellectual property. In accordance with Swiss tax law, we are entitled to amortize the fair market value of the intellectual property received at the date of transfer over five years for tax purposes. As a result of this amortization, we are expecting a loss for Swiss tax purposes during fiscal year 2017. As of September 30, 2016, we had a net liability for unrecognized tax benefits included in the balance sheet of $4,494, including accrued interest of $170. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, approximately $2,003 will reduce the effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months. However, we are unable to quantify an estimated range of the impact to our unrecognized tax benefits at this time. We believe we have appropriately provided for all tax uncertainties. We conduct business in a number of tax jurisdictions and, as such, are required to file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions globally. The years 2013 through 2016 remain open for examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the years 2011 through 2016 remain open for examination in the various states and non-US tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain, and there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
