(i)The effect of different tax rates available to different jurisdictions was mainly due to the fair value loss on derivative liabilities incurred by Huya whose applicable tax rate is zero for the year ended December 31, 2018. The effect of different tax rates available to different jurisdictions was mainly due to the re-measurement gain of the previously held equity interest in Bigo on the acquisition date incurred by Duowan BVI whose applicable tax rate is zero for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(ii)Permanent differences mainly arise from expenses not deductible for tax purposes including primarily share-based compensation costs and expenses incurred by subsidiaries and VIEs.

(i)Valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when the Group determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. In making such determination, the Group considered factors including future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards. Valuation allowance was provided for net operating loss carry forward because it was more likely than not that such deferred tax assets would not be realized based on the Group’s estimate of its future taxable income. If events occur in the future that allow the Group to realize more of its deferred income tax than the presently recorded amounts, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will result in a decrease in tax expense when those events occur.
