Income tax recognized in the statement of profit or loss includes the current and the deferred portion.
Current corporate income tax liabilities are calculated in accordance with the tax regulations applicable in the country where the company has its registered office.
The deferred portion recognized in statement of profit or loss is the difference between the balance of deferred tax liabilities and assets as at the beginning and end of the financial year; deferred tax liabilities and assets for transactions charged to equity are charged to equity.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined using the balance sheet method, considering corporate income tax rates which – as expected – will apply at the time when the asset is recovered or provision settled, in line with the tax law provisions applicable in the countries of residence of PZU Group entities, issued by the end of the financial year.
