Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year for its continuing operations. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s effective tax rate through the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was 29%, compared to 32% for the same period of fiscal 2013, and differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to (i) application of foreign tax credits and other U.S. credits, (ii) the impact of U.S. state and local income taxes, (iii) a domestic production activities deduction, and (iv) the decrease in the reserve for uncertain tax positions. The effective rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 reflects a $158 foreign tax credit related to prior years and a $110 decrease in the reserve for uncertain tax positions, compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2013. In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations governing the income tax treatment of acquisitions, dispositions, and repairs of tangible property. Taxpayers are required to follow the new regulations in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Management is currently assessing the impact of the regulations and does not expect they will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company believes it has appropriate support for its federal income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to 2008 or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to 2006. At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company recorded liabilities of $67 and $177, respectively, for uncertain tax positions and any related interest and penalties. The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. A summary of activity related to the Company’s uncertain tax positions is as follows:
Balance at September 30, 2013 | $ | 177 |
Decrease due to tax positions effectively settled | (110 | )
Balance at June 30, 2014 | $ | 67 |
