Major components of tax expense (income) [abstract] |
Income tax expense | 39 Income tax expense Italian companies are subject to two enacted income taxes at the following rates:
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
IRES (state tax) |  |  | 24.00 | % |  |  | 24.00 | % |  |  | 24.00 | %
IRAP (regional tax) |  |  | 4.82 | % |  |  | 4.82 | % |  |  | 4.82 | %
IRES is a state tax and is calculated on the taxable income determined on the income before taxes modified to reflect all temporary and permanent differences regulated by the tax law. IRAP is a regional tax and each Italian region has the power to increase the current rate of 3.90% by a maximum of 0.92%. In general, the taxable base of IRAP is a form of gross profit determined as the difference between gross revenues (excluding interest and dividend income) and direct production costs (excluding interest expense and other financial costs). The enacted IRAP tax rate due in Puglia region for 2023, 2022 and 2021 is 4.82% (3.90% plus 0.92%). Total income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are allocated as follows:
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |

Consolidated profit/(loss) before income taxes and Non-controlling interests of the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, is analysed as follows:
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Domestic |  |  | (12,078 | ) |  |  | (7,448 | ) |  |  | (1,551 | )

Total |  |  | (15,072 | ) |  |  | 3,561 |  |  |  | 8,774 |
The effective income taxes differ from the expected income tax expense (computed by applying the IRES state tax, which is 24% for 2023, 2022 and 2021, to profit before income taxes and non-controlling interests) as follows:

As of December 31, 2023, deferred tax assets mainly relate to carried-forward tax losses, inventory write-down for obsolescence, and provision for risks accounted for by some subsidiaries. In assessing the reliability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realised. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and the tax loss carry-forwards are utilised. Given the cumulative loss position of the domestic companies and of some of foreign subsidiaries as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, management has considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies, in making their assessment. After an analysis as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, management has not identified any relevant tax planning strategies prudent and feasible available to recognise the deferred tax assets. Therefore, as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 the realisation of the deferred tax assets is primarily based on the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, except in certain historically profitable jurisdictions. Based upon this analysis, management believes that the Natuzzi Group will realise the deferred tax assets of 1,975 as at December 31, 2023 (1,965 as at December 31, 2022). As at December 31, 2023 and 2022 deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the following items, because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can use the benefits therefrom.

|  | Gross Amount |  | Tax effect |  |  | Gross Amount |  | Tax effect |

As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, taxes that will be due on the distribution of the portion of shareholders’ equity equal to unremitted earnings of some subsidiaries are 1,090 and 1,129, respecti vely. Of these deferred taxes, the Group recognized in both 2023 and 2022 the amount of 516 on the share of the aforementioned retained earnings, as it is likely they will be distributed as dividends by the subsidiaries in the coming years. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022 the tax losses carried-forward of the Group expire as follows:
|  | 2023 |  |  | Expire date |  |  | 2022 |  |  | Expire date |
Expire in five years |  |  | 4,582 |  |  | 2024-2028 |  |  |  | 5,132 |  |  | 2023-2027 |
Expire after five years |  |  | 378 |  |  | > 2028 |  |  |  | 347 |  |  | > 2027 |
Never expire |  |  | 362,660 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 360,696 |  |  |  | — |
Total |  |  | 367,620 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 366,175 |  |  |  |
In Italy all tax losses carried-forward no longer expire, with the only limitation being that such tax losses carried-forward can be utilised to off-set a maximum of 80% of the taxable income in each following year. The income tax payable recorded as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is 339 and 1,874, respectively. Whereas, the current income tax receivable recorded as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is 3,000 and 2,195, respectively. Of the Group’s income tax payable, nil (2022: 300) relates to management’s estimation of the amount for the ongoing tax review of the Parent, which the Italian tax authority commenced in October 2020. The uncertain tax treatment relates to the interpretation of how the tax legislation applies to the Group’s transfer pricing arrangements. Due to the uncertainty involved, there is a possibility that the outcome of such tax review may be significantly different to the amount currently recognised. Although management has used a single best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid, it is anticipated that the remaining ongoing tax review will reasonably result in determining current tax liabilities of zero due to the tax loss position of the relevant years. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. The Company operates in many foreign jurisdictions. With no substantial exceptions, the Company and its main subsidiaries located in Romania and China are no longer subject to tax audits for years preceding 2018.
