| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Our income tax expense was $126,129 and $135,494 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to $17,298 and $26,679 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Tax expense increased year over year for both comparable periods due to the Swiss valuation allowance, discussed below, offset by lower tax expense on decreased profits. Excluding the effect of discrete tax adjustments, our estimated annual effective tax rate is lower for fiscal year 2023 as compared to fiscal year 2022 primarily due to a forecasted pre-tax loss. Our effective tax rate continues to be negatively impacted by losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a tax benefit in the current period. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, we recorded a full valuation allowance on Swiss deferred tax assets of $116,694 primarily related to Swiss tax reform benefits recognized in fiscal year 2020 and tax loss carryforwards. Management concluded that based on the current period results, that objective and verifiable negative evidence of recent losses in Switzerland outweighed more subjective positive evidence of anticipated future income. As of December 31, 2022 we had unrecognized tax benefits of $15,852, including accrued interest and penalties of $1,658. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. If recognized, $7,777 of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our tax expense. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months in the range of $370 to $420 related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. We believe we have appropriately provided for all tax uncertainties. We conduct business in a number of tax jurisdictions and, as such, are required to file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions globally. The years 2014 through 2022 remain open for examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the years 2015 through 2022 remain open for examination in the various states and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain, and there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
