Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Our effective tax rate resulted in an expense of 33.9% and 29.0% in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. On a year to date basis, our effective tax rate was 31.1% and 29.1% in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. In both the second quarter of 2014 as well as the second quarter of 2013, our tax rate benefited from favorable tax rates on certain foreign business activity as compared to our statutory rate of 35%. We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. No provision is made for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of substantially all of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are indefinitely reinvested in those companies. If circumstances change and it becomes apparent that some or all of the undistributed earnings of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries will not be indefinitely reinvested, a provision for the tax consequences, if any, will be recorded in the period in which the circumstances change. Our accounting policy is to account for interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2014, we have approximately $1.2 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions included in the $11.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, nearly all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. We are subject to numerous tax filings including U.S. Federal, various state and certain foreign jurisdictions. Currently, the following tax years remain open to the possibility of audit, by jurisdiction - U.S. Federal: 2010 – 2013; various states: 2009 – 2013; and foreign: 2010 – 2013.
