Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] |
The income tax expense included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income principally relates to the Company’s proportionate share of the pre-tax income of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The determination of income tax expense for interim reporting purposes is based upon the estimated effective tax rate for the year, adjusted for the impact of any discrete items which are accounted for in the period in which they occur. The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 21.9% and 24.9% of income before income tax expense, for the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
