BASIS OF PRESENTATION | BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("financial statements") of Plantronics, Inc. ("Plantronics" or "the Company") have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company's March 31, 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to interim financial information and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 , which was filed with the SEC on May 15, 2015 . The results of operations for the interim period ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any future period. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Issued Pronouncements In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued additional guidance regarding the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The Company is required to adopt the standard in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, but may elect to adopt earlier as permitted under the standard. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this standard will have on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. In November 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance on balance sheet classification of deferred taxes as part of its simplification initiative. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The Company is required to adopt the standard in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, but currently plans to early adopt the guidance on a prospective basis effective the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. The new guidance may impact the Company's balance sheet presentation and working capital, but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows. In July 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company is required to adopt the standard in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, but may elect to adopt earlier as permitted under the standard. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding revenue from contracts with customers. Under the new standard, revenue will be recognized at the time a good or service is transferred to a customer for the amount of consideration received for that specific good or service. Entities may use a full retrospective approach or report the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. The Company is required to adopt the standard, as amended, in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 although, under the standard, it may adopt as early as the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this standard will have on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. In April 2015, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding fees paid in cloud computing arrangements. The guidance requires registrants to account for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement that includes a software license element consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. Cloud computing arrangements without software licenses are to be accounted for as a service contract. The Company is required to adopt the standard in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this standard will have on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. |

The carrying value of available-for-sale securities included in cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. For more information regarding the Company's deferred compensation plan, refer to Note 4 , Deferred Compensation , of the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company did not incur any material realized or unrealized gains or losses in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 . There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 . All financial assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements or the accompanying notes thereto. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 The Company's Level 1 financial assets consist of Mutual Funds and US Treasury Notes . The fair value of Level 1 financial instruments is measured based on the quoted market price of identical securities. Level 2 The Company's Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of Government Agency Securities, Commercial Paper, Corporate Bonds, and Certificates of Deposits ("CDs") , derivative foreign currency contracts, and long-term debt. The fair value of Level 2 investment securities is determined based on other observable inputs, including multiple non-binding quotes from independent pricing services. Non-binding quotes are based on proprietary valuation models that are prepared by the independent pricing services and use algorithms based on inputs such as observable market data, quoted market prices for similar securities, issuer spreads, and internal assumptions of the broker. The Company corroborates the reasonableness of non-binding quotes received from the independent pricing services using a variety of techniques depending on the underlying instrument, including: (i) comparing them to actual experience gained from the purchases and maturities of investment securities, (ii) comparing them to internally developed cash flow models based on observable inputs, and (iii) monitoring changes in ratings of similar securities and the related impact on fair value. The fair value of Level 2 derivative foreign currency contracts is determined using pricing models that use observable market inputs. For more information regarding the Company's derivative assets and liabilities, refer to Note 12 , Foreign Currency Derivatives , of the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The fair value of Level 2 long-term debt is determined based on inputs that were observable in the market, including the trading price of the notes when available. For more information regarding the Company's long-term debt, refer to Note 7 , Debt , of the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Unconditional Purchase Obligations The Company purchases materials and services from a variety of suppliers and manufacturers. During the normal course of business and to manage manufacturing operations and general and administrative activities, the Company may enter into firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional purchase obligations for which amounts are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had outstanding off-balance sheet third-party manufacturing, component purchase, and other general and administrative commitments of $139.7 million . Other Guarantees and Obligations In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, purchasers of assets or subsidiaries and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company's breach of agreements or representations and warranties made by the Company, services to be provided by the Company, intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties or, with respect to the sale of assets of a subsidiary, matters related to the Company's conduct of business and tax matters prior to the sale. From time to time, the Company indemnifies customers against combinations of loss, expense, or liability arising from various triggering events relating to the sale and use of its products and services. In addition, the Company also provides protection to customers against claims related to undiscovered liabilities, additional product liability, or environmental obligations. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers of the Company. The Company maintains director and officer liability insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify its directors and officers in certain circumstances. It is not possible to determine the aggregate maximum potential loss under these agreements due to the limited history of prior claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular claim. Such indemnification obligations might not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, the Company has not incurred material costs as a result of obligations under these agreements and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnification obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Claims and Litigation On October 12, 2012, GN Netcom, Inc. ("GN") sued Plantronics, Inc. in the United States ("U.S.") District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging violations of the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and Delaware common law. In its complaint, GN specifically alleges four causes of action: monopolization, attempted monopolization, concerted action in restraint of trade, and tortious interference with business relations. GN claims that the Company dominates the market for headsets sold into contact centers in the U.S. and that a critical channel for sales of headsets to contact centers is through a limited network of specialized independent distributors (“SIDs”). GN asserts that the Company attracts SIDs through exclusive distributor agreements and alleges that the use of these agreements is illegal. The Company denies each of the allegations in the complaint and is vigorously defending itself. Given the preliminary nature of the case, the Company is unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible losses resulting from these allegations. During the quarter ended December 26, 2015, 2015, GN Netcom (“GN”) and the Company commenced the briefing on a motion for sanctions against Plantronics for spoliation of evidence. The briefing was concluded in early January. A court date for a hearing on the motion for sanctions has not yet been scheduled. There exists a reasonable possibility of the court issuing a sanction; however, the Company has not yet received any pertinent information relevant to the monetary amounts to be claimed by GN in their motion for sanctions. As such, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a loss or range of losses resulting from any such sanctions, which may or may not be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition to the specific matters discussed above, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of conducting business. For such legal proceedings, where applicable, the Company has accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. With respect to proceedings for which no accrual has been made, the Company is not able to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the variable treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings, and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings. However, based upon the Company's historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company may incur substantial legal fees, which are expensed as incurred, in defending against these legal proceedings. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DEBT | DEBT 5.50% Notes In May 2015, Plantronics issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes (the “5.50% Senior Notes”). The 5.50% Senior Notes mature on May 31, 2023, and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2015. The Company received net proceeds of $488.4 million from issuance of the 5.50% Senior Notes, net of issuance costs of $11.6 million which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 5.50% Senior Notes using the effective interest method. The fair value of the 5.50% Senior Notes was determined based on inputs that were observable in the market, including the trading price of the 5.50% Senior Notes when available (Level 2). The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 5.50% Senior Notes were as follows: March 31, 2015 December 31, 2015 (in thousands) Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value 5.50% Senior Notes — — 500,000 489,246 The Company may redeem all or a part of the 5.50% Senior Notes, upon not less than 30 or more than a 60 day notice; however, the applicable redemption price will be determined as follows: Redemption Period Requiring Payment of: Redemption Up To 35% Using Cash Proceeds From An Equity Offering (3) : Make-Whole (1) Premium (2) Date Specified Price 5.50% Senior Notes Prior to May 15, 2018 On or after May 15, 2018 Prior to May 15, 2018 105.500% (1) If the Company redeems the notes prior to the applicable date, the price is principal plus a make-whole premium equal to the present value of the remaining scheduled interest payments as described in the applicable indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest. (2) If the Company redeems the notes on or after the applicable date, the price is principal plus a premium which declines over time as specified in the applicable indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest. (3) If the Company redeems the notes prior to the applicable date with net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, the price is equal to the amount specified above, together with accrued and unpaid interest, subject to a maximum redemption of 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the respective note being redeemed. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, the Company may be required to repurchase the 5.50% Senior Notes, at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The 5.50% Senior Notes contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit Plantronics' ability to create certain liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions; create, assume, incur, or guarantee additional indebtedness of Plantronics’ subsidiaries without such subsidiary guaranteeing the 5.50% Senior Notes on an unsecured unsubordinated basis; and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of Plantronics and its subsidiaries to another person. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Revolving Credit Agreement On May 15, 2015 , the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2011 , by and between the Company and Bank to provide for a $100.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The proceeds of loans under the Credit Agreement may be used to finance stock repurchases, and for general corporate purposes. Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s election, at (i) the Bank’s announced prime rate less 1.20% per annum or (ii) a daily one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.40% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October and January, commencing July 1, 2015. Principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, on the revolving loans is due and payable on May 9, 2018 . The Company is also obligated to pay a commitment fee of 0.37% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the revolving line of credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October and January, commencing July 1, 2015. The Company may prepay the loans and terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to the reimbursement of certain costs. As of December 31, 2015 the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. As of March 31, 2015 the Company had $34.5 million in outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, covenants limiting the ability of the Company to incur debt, make capital expenditures, grant liens, merge or consolidate, and make investments. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including (i) a maximum ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and (ii) a minimum EBITDA coverage ratio, in each case, tested as of each fiscal quarter and determined on a rolling four-quarter basis. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to maintain unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities plus availability under the Credit Agreement at the end of each fiscal quarter of at least $300.0 million . The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among other things, payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, and judgment defaults. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company was in compliance with all ratios and covenants. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES | RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES The Company initiated a restructuring plan during the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. Under the plan, the Company reduced costs by eliminating 125 positions in the U.S., Mexico, China, and Europe, all of which will take effect in the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2016. These actions were designed to better align expenses to the Company’s revenue and gross margin profile and position the Company for improved operating performance. The Company expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $12.6 million , consisting of $8.4 million for severance and related benefits recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, and 5.8 million for benefits related to a one-time enhancement of our existing early retirement program to be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. These charges are expected to be offset by a reduction in fiscal year 2016 stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million attributable to stock award forfeitures resulting from the restructuring action. The Company anticipates the restructuring plan will be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2015: (in thousands) Involuntary termination benefits Balance at March 31, 2015 $ — Charges included in operating expense 8,433 Cash payments during the period — Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 8,433 The activity in the table above excludes the impact of the stock award forfeitures which were recognized in the functional line items within the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations in which they were originally recorded. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES | COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES From time to time, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized programs under which the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock, depending on market conditions, in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares are held as treasury stock until they are retired or re-issued. Repurchases by the Company pursuant to Board-authorized programs during the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are discussed below. As of December 31, 2015 , there remained 37,686 shares authorized for repurchase under a repurchase program approved by the Board on May 21, 2015 and there were no remaining shares authorized under previously approved programs. In the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company repurchased 8,673,366 shares and 596,290 shares, respectively, of its common stock in the open market for a total cost of $482.8 million and $27.4 million , respectively, and at an average price per share of $55.66 and $46.02 , respectively. In addition, the Company withheld shares valued at $10.8 million and $7.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2015 , and 2014 , respectively, in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock granted under the Company's stock plans. The amounts withheld were equivalent to the employees' minimum statutory tax withholding requirements and are reflected as a financing activity within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. These share withholdings have the same effect as share repurchases by the Company as they reduce the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued in connection with the vesting of shares subject to the restricted stock grants. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES | FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES The Company's foreign currency derivatives consist primarily of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, option contracts, and cross-currency swaps. The Company does not purchase options for trading purposes. The derivatives expose the Company to credit risk to the extent the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the derivative instrument. The Company's maximum exposure to loss that it would incur due to credit risk if parties to derivative contracts failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts was equal to the carrying value of the Company's derivative assets as of December 31, 2015 . The Company seeks to mitigate such risk by limiting its counterparties to large financial institutions. In addition, the Company monitors the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk on an ongoing basis. The Company enters into master netting arrangements with counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions. A master netting arrangement may allow each counterparty to net settle amounts owed between the Company and the counterparty as a result of multiple, separate derivative transactions. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company has International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements with four applicable banks and financial institutions which contain netting provisions. Plantronics has elected to present the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis even when derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements and may otherwise qualify for net presentation. For each counterparty, if netted, the Company would offset the asset and liability balances of all derivatives at the end of the reporting period. Derivatives not subject to master netting agreements are not eligible for net presentation. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , no cash collateral had been received or pledged related to these derivative instruments. The gross fair value of our outstanding derivative contracts at the end of each period was as follows: (in thousands) March 31, 2015 December 31, 2015 Derivative Assets (recorded in 'Other current assets') Non-designated hedges $ 1,891 $ 225 Cash flow hedges 11,372 1,964 Total Derivative Assets $ 13,263 $ 2,189 Derivative Liabilities (recorded in 'Other accrued liabilities') Non-designated hedges $ 1 $ 749 Cash flow hedges 3,913 3,341 Total Derivative Liabilities $ 3,914 $ 4,090 Non-Designated Hedges As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had foreign currency forward contracts denominated in Euros ("EUR"), British Pound Sterling ("GBP"), Australian Dollars ("AUD"), and Canadian Dollars ("CAD"). The Company does not elect to obtain hedge accounting for these forward contracts. These forward contracts hedge against a portion of the Company’s foreign currency-denominated cash balances, receivables, and payables. The following table summarizes the notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange currency contracts and approximate U.S. Dollar ("USD") equivalent at December 31, 2015 : (in thousands) Local Currency USD Equivalent Position Maturity EUR € 32,000 $ 34,918 Sell EUR 1 month GBP £ 4,900 $ 7,289 Sell GBP 1 month AUD A$ 11,680 $ 8,430 Sell AUD 1 month CAD C$ 2,860 $ 2,059 Sell CAD 1 month Effect of Non-Designated Derivative Contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations The effect of non-designated derivative contracts recognized in interest and other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2014 2015 2014 2015 Gain (loss) on foreign exchange contracts $ 2,183 $ 960 $ 5,160 $ 1,108 Cash Flow Hedges Costless Collars The Company hedges a portion of the forecasted EUR and GBP denominated revenues with costless collars. On a monthly basis, the Company enters into option contracts with a six to eleven month term. Collar contracts are scheduled to mature at the beginning of each fiscal quarter, at which time the instruments convert to forward contracts. The Company also enters into cash flow forwards with a three month term. Once the hedged revenues are recognized, the forward contracts become non-designated hedges to protect the resulting foreign monetary asset position for the Company. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had foreign currency option contracts of approximately €60.2 million and £18.8 million . As of March 31, 2015 , the Company had foreign currency option contracts of approximately €67.9 million and £28.6 million . As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had foreign currency forward contracts of approximately €21.6 million and £5.1 million . As of March 31, 2015 , the Company had no such instruments. The Company will reclassify all amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income into earnings within the next twelve months. Cross-currency Swaps The Company hedges a portion of the forecasted Mexican Peso (“MXN”) denominated expenditures with a cross-currency swap. A loss of $2.6 million , net of tax, in AOCI as of December 31, 2015 is expected to be reclassified to cost of revenues during the next 12 months due to the recognition of the hedged forecasted expenditures. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 , the Company had foreign currency swap contracts of approximately MXN $445.1 million and MXN 431.9 million , respectively. The following table summarizes the notional value of the Company’s outstanding MXN cross-currency swaps and approximate USD Equivalent at December 31, 2015 : (in thousands) Local Currency USD Equivalent Position Maturity MXN 445,130 $ 28,174 Buy MXN Monthly over 21 months Effect of Designated Derivative Contracts on AOCI and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations The following table presents the pre-tax effects of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2014 2015 2014 2015 Gain (loss) included in AOCI as of beginning of period $ 2,601 $ (2,900 ) $ (1,442 ) $ 5,705 Amount of gain (loss) recognized in OCI (effective portion) 508 1,330 3,604 (3,484 ) Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from OCI into net revenues (effective portion) 1,220 1,739 61 7,474 Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from OCI into cost of revenues (effective portion) (63 ) (1,238 ) 149 (3,182 ) Total amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI to income (loss) (effective portion) 1,157 501 210 4,292 Gain (loss) included in AOCI as of end of period $ 1,952 $ (2,071 ) $ 1,952 $ (2,071 ) During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company recognized an immaterial gain on the ineffective portion of its cash flow hedges, which is reported in interest and other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to taxation in the U.S. and in various foreign and state jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 was 17.9% and 21.7% compared to 21.3% and 24.5% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2015 is due primarily to larger tax reserve releases in the current year caused by the expiration of various statutes, as well as interest related to the 5.50% Senior Notes during the current period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 is due primarily to lower domestic earnings resulting from the interest expense on the 5.50% Senior Notes and the favorable closure of a tax audit in the current year. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory rate due primarily to the impact of foreign operations taxed at different statutory rates, tax credits, state taxes, and other factors. On July 27, 2015, in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. A final decision was issued by the Tax Court on December 1, 2015. The Internal Revenue Service may appeal the decision within 90 days. At this time, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has not withdrawn the requirement to include stock-based compensation in inter-company cost-sharing arrangements from its regulations. Accordingly, due to the uncertainty surrounding the status of the current regulations, questions related to the scope of potential benefits, and the risk of the Tax Court's decision being overturned on appeal, the Company has not recorded any associated benefit as of the three or nine months ended December 31, 2015 . The Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to our financial statements. Included in long-term income taxes payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 were unrecognized tax benefits of $12.5 million and $12.8 million , respectively, which would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods if recognized. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits was $1.8 million as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 . No penalties have been accrued. The Company has effectively settled the examination by the Internal Revenue Service for its 2010 tax year. The California Franchise Tax Board completed its examination of the Company's 2007 and 2008 tax years. The Company received a Notice of Proposed Assessment and responded by filing a protest letter. The amount of the proposed assessment is not material. Foreign income tax matters for material tax jurisdictions have been concluded for tax years prior to fiscal year 2011, except in the United Kingdom where tax matters have been concluded for tax years prior to fiscal year 2014. The Company believes that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations; however, the outcome of such examinations cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the tax examinations are resolved in a manner inconsistent with the Company's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs. The timing of any resolution and/or closure of tax examinations is not certain. |
