Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesThe Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 25, 2021 was (1.0)% and 7.7%, respectively. Such rates differ from the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) federal statutory rate of 19% primarily due to a benefit recognized as a result of recently enacted tax legislation in Italy which allowed the Company to reduce its deferred tax liabilities. Specifically, this change allowed the Company to step up certain intangible assets which will result in lower future cash taxes. In addition, the tax rate for each period was further reduced by the favorable impact of global financing activities, partially offset by the increases in uncertain tax positions for the three months ended September 25, 2021. For the six months ended September 25, 2021, the tax rate was also negatively impacted by the tax rate change in the United Kingdom on the Company's net deferred tax liabilities. The global financing activities are related to the Company’s 2014 move of its principal executive office from Hong Kong to the U.K. and decision to become a U.K. tax resident. In connection with this decision, the Company funded its international growth strategy through intercompany debt financing arrangements. These debt financing arrangements reside between certain of our U.S., U.K. and Hungarian subsidiaries. Due to the difference in the statutory income tax rates between these jurisdictions, the Company realized lower effective tax rates for the three and six months ended September 25, 2021.
