Provision for Income Taxes	Income Taxes In the first quarter 2014, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $357, including $28 of tax benefit, primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. In the first quarter 2013, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $387, including $34 of tax expense, 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 net tax benefit of $42 consisting of a $68 tax benefit derived from the 2013 extension of certain U.S. business tax provisions offset by $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 taxing authorities. Positions challenged by the taxing 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 changes to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be significant, however, due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of completion of audits and possible outcomes, a current estimate of the range of increases or decreases that may occur within the next twelve months cannot be made.
