Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 13. Income Taxes The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The provision for income taxes was 21.9% and 23.9% of income before income taxes for the three months ended May 31 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate from period to period was primarily due to higher earnings from foreign operations resulting in an increase in the benefit received from the application of the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income calculation, coupled with a one-time benefit received in fiscal year 2021 from an Investment Tax Credit. The provision for income taxes was 17.7% and 19.1% of income before income taxes for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate from period to period was primarily due to a benefit from the High Tax Exception associated with Global Intangible Low Taxed Income during the first half of fiscal year 2021, as well as an increase in excess earnings from foreign operations resulting in an increase in the benefit received from the application of the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income calculation. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to expired statutes, the Company’s federal income tax returns for years prior to fiscal year 2018 are not subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, for the majority of state and foreign jurisdictions where the Company does business, periods prior to fiscal year 2017 are no longer subject to examination.

Note 13. Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.

The provision for income taxes was 21.9% and 23.9% of income before income taxes for the three months ended May 31 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate from period to period was primarily due to higher earnings from foreign operations resulting in an increase in the benefit received from the application of the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income calculation, coupled with a one-time benefit received in fiscal year 2021 from an Investment Tax Credit.

The provision for income taxes was 17.7% and 19.1% of income before income taxes for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate from period to period was primarily due to a benefit from the High Tax Exception associated with Global Intangible Low Taxed Income during the first half of fiscal year 2021, as well as an increase in excess earnings from foreign operations resulting in an increase in the benefit received from the application of the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income calculation.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to expired statutes, the Company’s federal income tax returns for years prior to fiscal year 2018 are not subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, for the majority of state and foreign jurisdictions where the Company does business, periods prior to fiscal year 2017 are no longer subject to examination. The Company is currently under audit in various state jurisdictions for fiscal years 2017 through 2019. Estimated unrecognized tax benefits related to income tax positions affected by the resolution of tax examinations or expiring statutes of limitation within the next twelve months were not significant. Audit outcomes and the timing of settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.
