10.2.Estimated period of realization

Deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences will be realized as the differences are settled or realized. The period of settlement or realization of such differences is subject to externalities and is linked to several factors that are not under the control of Management.

In estimating the realization of deferred tax credits on tax losses carryforward, Management considers its budget and strategic plans, which were approved by the Board of Directors, adjusted based on the estimates of the main tax additions and exclusions. The recoverability study is reviewed by the Fiscal Council and approved by the Board of Directors. Based on this estimate, Management believes that it is probable that these deferred tax credits will be realized, as presented below:

 

2021      111,727
2022      140,612
2023      231,408
2024      291,677
2025      335,681
2026 to 2028      1,035,323
2029 onwards      692,530
       2,838,958

 

The Company has tax losses carryforward in Brazil, which at current tax rates represent R$5,381,785 on September 30, 2021 (R$4,589,674 on December 31, 2020). Within this amount, R$2,822,245 on September 30, 2021 and on December 31, 2020 are recognized as an asset, according to the recoverability expectation above (R$16,713 is related to jurisdictions other than Brazil). The deferred tax credits on tax losses and negative social contribution basis related to the parent company and its subsidiaries domiciled in Brazil do not expire and the use to offset income taxes payable is limited to 30% of future taxable income.
