Income tax

Neopost S.A. is the parent company of an integrated tax group under the terms of article 223A of the French general tax code. In this context, Neopost S.A. is only liable for income tax due by its subsidiaries with a view to determining the whole Group’s earnings. The tax consolidation agreement used in the Group is based on the principle of neutrality and provides that the tax burden is borne by the Company as in the absence of tax

consolidation. The tax is thus calculated on the Company's own taxable income. The tax savings realized by the Group, through losses, adjustments or tax credits, are retained by the parent company and regarded as an immediate gain for the year (in a year in which the Company show some profits, the parent company will then

bear a tax charge).

In accordance with article 223 quater of the French general tax code, the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 January 2018 contain 81,522 euros of non-deductible expenses for income tax (article 39-4 of the French general tax code), but do not contain overhead costs, which are non-deductible for tax purposes (article 39-5 of the French general tax code).
