The tax effect in previous years refers to the final tax as computed compared with the allocated tax for previous years.
Tax-deductible goodwill amortization in the U.S. reduces tax payments by approximately USD 3 million per year through 2016. However, IFRS requires provisions for deferred tax in the income statement. Deferred tax liability refers to deductible goodwill amortization amounting to SEK 99 millions. The total tax liability includes tax liabilities of SEK 3,127 thousand that mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Total tax assets include tax assets of SEK 27,375 thousand that mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date. There is no time limit on the use of the tax loss carryforwards that are not taken into account in the calculation of deferred tax.
See Note 1, Critical estimates and assumptions, in the section on the valuation of tax loss carryforwards, for the Group’s opinion.
