Deferred tax assets are recognized on the basis that sufficient future profits will be available against which they may be utilized.

The Company recognized all appropriate deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, with the exception of some deductible temporary differences. The tax value of deductible temporary differences where near-term recovery is not probable and therefore have not been recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts to approximately €104m (2020: €132m; 2019: €nil). These deductible temporary differences are not subject to expiry based on current tax legislation and are subject to annual review. No deferred tax has been provided for unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries. No temporary differences arise on the carrying value of the tax base of subsidiary companies as the Company’s trading subsidiaries are resident in countries with which Ireland has concluded double taxation agreements.
