13.13. Tax expense

SELECTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses (tax expense) include current tax and deferred tax. Current tax expense is determined in accordance with the relevant tax law based on the taxable profit for a given period and is recognised as a liability, in the amount which has not been paid or as an asset, if the amount of the current and prior periods income tax paid exceeds the amount due.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are accounted for as non-current and are not discounted. They are offset on the level of particular separate financial statements of the Group companies when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts.

ESTIMATES

The Group recognises a deferred tax asset to transfer the unsettled tax losses and unused tax credit, to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable profit available, from which unsettled tax losses and unused tax credits can be write-off. The assessment of this probability is made on the basis of planned budgets to achieve the assumed tax revenues in the following years.
