INCOME TAX EXPENSE (INCOME) RECOGNIZED

(1,045)

(1,801)

EFFECTIVE TAX RATE (INCOME TAX EXPENSE DIVIDED BY TAXABLE INCOME) 28.87% For the first time, as of December 31, 2020, they are recognized at base value and restated for consolidated taxable income. This removes the effect of permanent differences (1) from the difference between effective and theoretical tax rates. The data for 2019 have been modified for comparability. The permanent differences mainly include the impact of the contribution to the SRF (Single Resolution Fund), which is a non-deductible expense (see Note 4.7), and the (2) reintegration of the share of expenses on dividends received. This removes the effect of permanent differences from the difference between effective and theoretical tax rates. Tax on prior periods, tax credits and other tax mainly includes tax credits and the impact of tax audits and the resolution of current disputes. (3) Other items mainly include the effects of the tax consolidation of BPCE and Natixis, for +€77 million, provisions for tax adjustments, for -€18 million, and the effect of changes in (4) tax rates on the valuation of the Group’s deferred tax assets for -€98 million. 32.13%

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

11.2

Accounting principles Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when temporary differences arise between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their tax base, irrespective of when the tax is expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability settled based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset at the level of each tax entity. The tax entity may either be a single entity or a tax consolidationgroup. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probablethat the entitywill be able to recover them in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as tax income or expense in the income statement,except for those related to: revaluation differences on post-employment benefits; • unrealized gains and losses on financial assets at fair value • through other comprehensive income; changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow • hedges. for which the correspondingdeferred tax assets and liabilities are recognizedas unrealizedgains and losses directly in other comprehensive income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to their present value.
