Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES In determining quarterly provisions for income taxes, Kennedy Wilson uses an effective tax rate based on actual year-to-date income and statutory tax rates. The effective tax rate also reflects Kennedy Wilson's assessment of its potential exposure for uncertain tax positions. The fluctuations between periods in the Company's effective tax rate are mainly due to varying levels of income and amounts attributable to foreign sourced income and noncontrolling interests. Permanent differences that impact the Company's effective rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% were not materially different in amount for all periods. The difference between the U.S. federal rate of 34% and the Company's effective rate is attributable to the taxation of foreign sourced income being taxed at rates lower than the U.S. domestic rate and income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company's subsidiaries in Ireland, United Kingdom, Spain and Jersey are subject to corporate tax rates of 12.5%, 21.0%, 30.0%, and 0% respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company generated a book loss of $3.9 million related to operations in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain. A foreign tax benefit of $0.7 million attributable to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc is included in the consolidated tax provision for income taxes related to the portion of income earned directly by subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Ireland for the six months ended ended June 30, 2014. U.S. domestic taxes have not been provided for in the consolidated tax provision on amounts earned directly by these subsidiaries since it is the Company's plan to indefinitely invest amounts earned by these subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Ireland operations. If these subsidiaries' cumulative earnings were repatriated to the United States additional U.S. domestic taxes of $1.4 million attributable to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc would be incurred.
