Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes In determining the quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally based on our expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the U.S., Canada and U.K. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s effective tax rate was 32%. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s effective tax rate was 35%, treating the $3.0 million expense for unexchanged promotional merger shares as having no recognizable tax benefits, which increased the Company's effective tax rate by 5%. U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The undistributed earnings on a book basis for the non-U.S. subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 are approximately $2.4 million. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its operations outside the U.S. If the undistributed earnings are remitted to the U.S. these amounts would be taxable in the U.S. at the current federal and state tax rates net of foreign tax credits. Also, depending on the jurisdiction any distribution may be subject to withholding taxes at rates applicable for that jurisdiction. The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. At June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $9.4 million in total unrecognized tax benefits. Unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $8.0 million which, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate, and unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1.4 million, which if recognized, would be recorded in discontinued operations. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $874,000 and $664,000, respectively, in accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal and state taxing authorities. Although the timing of resolution and/or closure on audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits related to the method of computing income taxes in certain jurisdiction and losses reported on certain income tax returns could significantly change in the next 12 months. These changes may occur through settlement with the taxing authorities or the expiration of the statute of limitations on the returns filed. The Company is unable to estimate the range of possible adjustments to the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and certain state tax examinations for years after 2008 and is subject to California tax examinations for years after 2004. The Company's 2009 and 2010 federal income returns are currently under examination, including the impact of the sale of Asia Pacific business segment in 2009.
