7 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Combined financial statements and notes
All deferred tax liabilities are recognised. Deferred tax assets are recognised when their recovery is considered as “more probable than improbable”, i.e. , if it is likely that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future to offset the deductible timing differences. In general, a 3-year horizon is considered to be a reasonable period to assess whether the entity can recover the capitalised deferred tax. However, an impairment charge is booked against the deferred tax assets if their recoverability appears doubtful. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed on the basis of tax rates (and tax regulations) adopted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to present value.
