The 2025 amount includes the Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax
 
impact to provision for income taxes as discussed in the International Tax
 
Reform – Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax
 
section
below.
International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax
On December 20, 2021, the OECD published
 
Pillar Two model rules as part of its efforts toward international
 
tax reform. The Pillar Two model rules provide for the
implementation of a 15% global minimum
 
tax for large multinational enterprises,
 
which is to be applied on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction
 
basis. Pillar Two legislation
was enacted in Canada on June 20, 2024
 
under Bill C-69, which includes the
Global Minimum Tax Act
 
addressing the Pillar Two model rules. Similar legislation
has passed in other jurisdictions in which
 
the Bank operates and will result in additional
 
taxes being paid in these countries. The rules
 
were effective and
implemented by the Bank on November 1, 2024.
 
The IASB previously issued amendments
 
to IAS 12
Income Taxes
 
for a temporary mandatory exception
 
from the
recognition and disclosure of deferred
 
taxes related to the implementation of Pillar
 
Two model rules, which the Bank has applied. For the year ended
October 31, 2025, the Bank’s effective tax rate increased
 
by approximately
0.3
% due to Pillar Two taxes.
Other Tax Matters
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Revenu
 
Québec Agency (RQA) and Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration (ATRA) are denying certain
 
dividend and
interest deductions claimed by the Bank.
 
During the year ended October 31, 2025,
 
the CRA and the ATRA reassessed the Bank for a total of $
15
 
million of
additional income tax and interest in respect
 
of the 2019 and 2020 taxation years. As at
 
October 31, 2025, the CRA has reassessed
 
the Bank for $
1,676
 
million for
the years 2011 to 2020, the RQA has reassessed the Bank for $
52
 
million for the years 2011 to 2018, and the ATRA has reassessed the Bank for $
71
 
million for
the years 2011 to 2020. In total, the Bank has been reassessed for
 
$
1,799
 
million of income tax and interest. The Bank
 
expects to continue to be reassessed
 
for
open years. The Bank is of the view that its
 
tax filing positions were appropriate and
 
filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada on March 21, 2023.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities comprise of

The amount of temporary differences, unused tax
 
losses, and unused tax credits for which
 
no deferred tax asset is recognized on the
 
Consolidated Balance Sheet
was $
735
 
million as at October 31, 2025 (October 31,
 
2024 – $
658
 
million), of which $
1
 
million (October 31, 2024 – $
2
 
million) is scheduled to expire within
 
five
years.
Certain taxable temporary differences associated
 
with the Bank’s investments in subsidiaries, branches
 
and associates, and interests in joint ventures
 
did not
result in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities
 
as at October 31, 2025. The total amount
 
of these temporary differences was $
84
 
billion as at October 31, 2025
(October 31, 2024 – $
72
 
billion).
The movement in the net deferred tax asset
 
for the years ended October 31, 2025 and
 
October 31, 2024, was as follows:
