Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Provision for (benefit from) Income Taxes | Income Taxes In the third quarter 2014, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $352, including $257 of tax expense, primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Year-to-date 2014, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $1,075, including $232 of tax expense, primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. In the third quarter 2013, the company recorded a tax benefit of $35 on continuing operations pre-tax income of $228. The benefit included $58 of tax benefit primarily associated with the company's policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Year-to-date 2013, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $687, including $8 of tax benefit primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Included in the provision was a $33 tax benefit related to an enacted tax law change, a $68 tax benefit derived from the 2013 extension of certain U.S. business tax provisions partially offset by $49 of tax expense related to a change in accrual for a prior year tax position and $26 of tax expense related to the global distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the Performance Coatings business. Each year the company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the tax authorities. Positions challenged by the tax authorities may be settled or appealed by the company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is reasonably possible that net reductions to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be in the range of $100 to $125 within the next twelve months with the majority due to the settlement of uncertain tax positions with various tax authorities.
