Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The quarterly income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon expected annual income, permanent items, statutory rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. However, losses in certain jurisdictions and certain discrete items are treated separately. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax basis. The Company records a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Our expectations regarding realization of our deferred tax assets is based upon the weight of all available evidence, including such factors as our recent earnings history, expected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to certain state and foreign deferred tax assets that may not be recovered. Each quarter the valuation allowance is re-evaluated. The valuation allowance during the three months ended December 31, 2013, increased by $0.2 million for current period net operating losses in China and the Netherlands. The Accounting Standards Codification states that forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. As a result, we continue recording a valuation allowance on operating losses incurred in China and the Netherlands. The Company classifies uncertain tax positions as non-current income taxes payable unless expected to be paid within one year. At December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1.6 million. If recognized, these amounts would favorably impact the effective tax rate. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013, the Company has an accrual for potential interest and penalties of approximately $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in The Netherlands, Germany, France, China and Hong Kong, as well as the U.S. and various states in the U.S. The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of open tax years dictated by statute in each of the respective taxing jurisdictions, which are generally from 3 to 5 years.
