Deferred taxes are formed for differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base at the enacted tax rate, taking into account tax-exempt components. The current tax rate is 25.8% (2023: 25.8%). The deferred taxes are calculated with the enacted tax rate of 25.8%.

For subsidiaries outside the fiscal unity the unused tax losses for which no deferred tax has been recognised amount to 28 million (2023: 28 million). These unused tax losses include expected losses which are already provided for.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered more than one year after the balance sheet date.
