Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on limited-time differences in the methods of balancing of accounts according to the International Financial Reporting Standards and the corresponding national tax law (so-called temporary differences). If, in the financial statements in line with IFRS, assets are stated at a lower (higher) level or liabilities at a higher (lower) level than in the tax balance sheet of the respective Group company, the future tax relief that arises from this must be recorded as deferred tax asset (liability). Deferred tax assets can also be recorded as tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are value-adjusted if it seems unlikely that the corresponding level of tax receivables will arise.
