Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	7. Income Taxes Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations were 4.3% and 9.6% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, and 18.4% and 19.5% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. The effective tax rates in fiscal years 2020 and 2019 reflect the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% adjusted for foreign rate differences, benefits associated with local tax incentives, changes in valuation allowances and liabilities for uncertain tax positions, and tax benefits on stock-based compensation awards. Additionally, in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, we did not record a tax provision on the pre-tax unrealized gain of $111.8 million and $83.8 million, respectively, from a derivative contract related to the deal-contingent hedge agreement on the Adtalem Brazil sale completed on April 24, 2020 (see Note 4 “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” for additional information). Three of Adtalem’s operating units benefit from local tax incentives: AUC, which operates in St. Maarten, RUSM, which operates in Barbados, and RUSVM, which operates in St. Kitts. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives. RUSM and RUSVM each have agreements with their respective domestic governments that exempt them from local income taxation. RUSM has an exemption in Barbados until 2039. RUSVM has an exemption in St. Kitts until 2037. On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, temporarily increases the amount of interest expense the company is allowed to deduct on its U.S. federal tax returns for fiscal years 2019 and 2020, modifies the Tax Credit and Jobs Act of 2017 to allow immediate expensing of qualified improvement property for U.S. federal income tax purposes retroactive to fiscal year 2018, and allows net operating losses incurred in fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back five-years and offset up to 100% of U.S. federal taxable income for tax years beginning before fiscal year 2021. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act, but at present time does not expect that the provisions of the CARES Act would result in a material tax or cash benefit. Consistent with our 2019 Form 10-K disclosure, Adtalem continues to estimate its unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by $25 million to $27 million by June 30, 2020 due to the settlement of various audits and the lapsing of statutes of limitations.
