Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES On December 22, 2017, Congress passed, and the President signed, “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018” (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax Code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent; (2) requiring companies to pay a one-time transitional tax on certain un-repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries; (3) generally eliminating U.S. federal income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries of U.S. corporations; (4) repealing the domestic production activity deduction; (5) providing for the full expensing of qualified property; (6) adding a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”); (7) revising the limitation imposed on deductions for executive compensation paid by publicly-traded companies; (8) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be utilized; (9) creating a base erosion-anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), a new minimum tax on payments made by certain U.S. corporations to related foreign parties; (10) imposing a new limitation on the deductibility of interest expense; (11) allowing for a deduction related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”); and (12) changing the rules related to the uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The SEC issued SAB 118 which provides guidance on how companies should account for the tax effects related to the Tax Act. According to SAB 118, companies should make a good faith effort to compute the impact of the Tax Act in a timely manner once the company has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information needed in order to complete the accounting requirements under ASC 740, which should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date. However, in situations when the company’s accounting is incomplete, SAB 118 authorizes companies to record a reasonable provisional estimate of the tax impact resulting from the Tax Act. For the period ended December 31, 2017, JBT reported a provisional estimate of the one-time deemed repatriation transition tax on previously untaxed and un-repatriated current and accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, an adjustment to deferred tax assets related to future stock compensation deductions for amounts that it does not expect it will be able to deduct in the future, and an adjustment to re-measure deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at the 21.0 percent US corporate tax rate. These provisional estimates were computed in accordance with SAB 118. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company is still collecting and analyzing the necessary information related to the transition tax and the remeasurement of deferred taxes due to the change in the federal tax rate. We will update our calculations as information becomes available with regard to the prior year tax return filings and as tax technical guidance is issued. Therefore, the earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries as well as other underlying calculations required to compute the transition tax did not change from what was previously reported for the period ending December 31, 2017. The Tax Act requires the Company to analyze other impacted areas including the limitation on deducting executive compensation, net interest expense deductibility, GILTI, BEAT, FDII, and accelerated cost recovery of fixed assets. The annualized effective tax rate reflects the relevant provisions of the Tax Act. The Company will continue to analyze the tax effects of the new legislation during 2018 as more information is available and more technical guidance is issued at the federal and state level.
