Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	Income Taxes In December 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was enacted in the United States. Beginning January 1, 2018, foreign earnings of the Company's international subsidiaries are generally exempt from U.S. Federal income tax upon repatriation. Notwithstanding these changes, certain non-U.S. withholding taxes and foreign exchange gains and losses will continue to be applicable upon the repatriation of foreign earnings. During 2018 and 2019, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury) issued additional guidelines and clarifying regulations related to the implementation of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company expects that additional guidance will continue to be issued in future periods. As this guidance is issued, the Company will continue to evaluate the information to determine whether any additional adjustments to its tax provisions are required. The 2017 Tax Act included provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) under which taxes on foreign income are imposed on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of certain foreign subsidiaries and for Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) under which taxes are imposed on certain base eroding payments to affiliated foreign companies. The Company treats BEAT and GILTI as components of current income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 had no tax expense related to GILTI or BEAT. In February 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance for reporting comprehensive income to reflect changes resulting from the 2017 Tax Act. The amendment, which had an effective date of January 1, 2019, provided the option to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Act within accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings. The Company elected to not reclassify stranded income tax effects from AOCI to retained earnings, including those related to implementation of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate was 28.3% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 31.1% for the comparable period in 2018. The effective tax rate in 2019 benefited from share-based compensation deductions as a result of stock option exercises occurring during the quarter that were partially offset by certain expenses that are no longer deductible under the 2017 Tax Act. The effect of higher average foreign tax rates of the Company's international subsidiaries, when compared to the U.S. federal and state tax rates, were partially offset by available U.S foreign tax credits principally as a result of withholding taxes related to its foreign operations and U.S. income tax deductions for Foreign-derived intangible income (FDII). As discussed above, some elements of the recorded impacts of the 2017 Tax Act could be impacted by further legislative action as well as additional interpretations and guidance issued by the IRS or Treasury. As a result, the amount of income tax recorded in the future may differ, possibly materially. For further information and discussion of the potential impact of the 2017 Tax Act, refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
