Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income TaxesFor the fiscal quarters ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, CRA’s effective income tax rate (“ETR”) was 24.4% and 29.4%, respectively. The ETR for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was lower than the prior year due to an increase in the tax benefit related to the accounting for stock-based compensation as well as the impact of higher pre-tax earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which diluted the permanent unfavorable differences, primarily related to the impact of the deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers, with respect to the full-year estimated ETR.During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, CRA considered the operating needs of the United Kingdom ("U.K.") subsidiary, as well as the tax implications of no longer asserting indefinite reinvestment with respect to the U.K. operations. As a result of both a qualitative and quantitative analysis, previously taxed and untaxed post fiscal 2018 U.K. earnings were no longer considered permanently reinvested. Deferred taxes that are a consequence of foreign exchange translation resulting from earnings that are no longer considered permanently reinvested are recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2021, CRA’s U.K. subsidiary distributed approximately £12.0 million of both previously taxed and untaxed earnings to CRA’s U.S. parent entity, the foreign currency translation impact of which was immaterial. Deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes, estimated to be $0.4 million, have not been recorded for other jurisdictions as those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested.
