As of December 31, 2020, the Group has a deferred income tax asset for accumulated carryforwards of 82,601. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carryforwards to the extent their setoff through future taxable profits is probable. Tax loss carryforwards in Argentina expire within 5 years. In order to fully realize the deferred income tax asset, the Group will need to generate taxable income. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and future projections for the years in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, Management of the Company believes that as of December 31, 2020 it is probable that the Group will realize all of the deferred income tax assets. As of December 31, 2020, Group’s tax loss carryforwards at the expected recovery rate were as follows:
Date of generation |  | Date of expiration |  | Jurisdiction |  | Amount |
2016 |  | 2021 |  | Argentina |  |  | 466 |
2017 |  | 2022 |  | Argentina |  |  | 499 |
2018 |  | 2023 |  | Argentina |  |  | 24,190 |
2019 |  | 2024 |  | Argentina |  |  | 21,948 |
2020 |  | 2025 |  | Argentina |  |  | 35,498 |
|  |  |  |  |  |  | 82,601 |
The credit for the Group’s tax loss carryforwards not recognized as of December 31, 2020 amounted to 956 with maturity between the years 2021 and 2025. As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there are no significant deferred tax assets which are not recognized. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Group has classified as deferred tax assets for 2,629, 1,583 and 301, respectively, and as deferred tax liability 124,026, 97,231, and 91,125, respectively, all of which arise from the net deferred tax balances of each of the separate companies included in these consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the causes that generate charges to “Other comprehensive income”, did not create temporary differences for income tax. Law No. 27,468, published in the BO on December 4, 2018, established that the inflation adjustment procedure for taxation purposes will be applicable for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2018. In the first, second and third fiscal year since it became effective, this procedure shall be applicable if the variation in the CPI, estimated from the beginning to the end of each of those years exceeds 55%, 30% and 15%, for the first, second and third year of application, respectively. Considering CPI projections exceeded the parameters mentioned above for December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group has applied the inflation adjustment procedure for taxation purposes.
