Notes and other explanatory information [abstract] |
Taxes | 7. Taxes a) Income tax reconciliation In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) released the Pillar Two model rules to reform international corporate taxation. Multinational economic groups within the scope of these rules are required to calculate their effective tax rate in each country where they operate, the “GloBE effective tax rate”. When the effective GloBE rate of any entity in the economic group, aggregated by jurisdiction where the group operates, is lower than the minimum rate defined at 15%, the multinational group must pay a supplementary amount of tax on profit, referring to the difference between its rate effective GloBE and the minimum tax rate. From 2024, the Company is subject to OECD Pillar Two model rules in the Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Japan and Luxembourg. However, there was no material impact on Company’s income tax computation due to this matter and it does not expect any further impact on its future financial statements. Income tax expense is recognized based on the estimate of the weighted average effective tax rate expected for the full year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items that are recognized in full on the interim tax calculation. Therefore, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. The reconciliation of the taxes calculated according to the nominal tax rates and the amount of taxes recorded is shown below:
