Changes in accounting policies, comparability and adjustments
IFRS 17,
Insurance Contracts
Effective
 
from
 
1 January
 
2023,
 
UBS
 
has
 
adopted
 
IFRS
 
17,
Insurance
 
Contracts
,
 
which
 
sets
 
out
 
the
 
accounting
requirements
 
for
 
contractual
 
rights
 
and
 
obligations
 
that
 
arise
 
from
 
insurance
 
contracts
 
issued
 
and
 
reinsurance
contracts held. The adoption has had no material
 
effect on the Group’s financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 12
, Income Taxes
In May
 
2023, the
 
IASB issued
 
amendments to
 
IAS 12
Income Taxes
, whereby,
 
under an
 
exception, deferred
 
tax
assets (DTAs)
 
and deferred
 
tax liabilities
 
(DTLs) will
 
not be
 
recognized in
 
respect of
 
top-up tax
 
on income
 
under
Global Anti-Base Erosion
 
Rules that is
 
imposed under tax
 
law that is enacted
 
or substantively enacted
 
to implement
the
 
Pillar
 
Two
 
model
 
rules
 
published
 
by
 
the
 
Organisation
 
for
 
Economic
 
Co-operation
 
and
 
Development.
 
This
exception applies
 
immediately upon
 
the issuance
 
of the
 
amendments and
 
it is,
 
therefore, potentially
 
relevant to
these financial statements and subsequent financial statements. Although countries are starting to implement the
rules, the Group did not have any
 
DTAs or DTLs on 30 June 2023
 
that had not been recognized as a result of
 
the
application of
 
this exception.
 
The exception
 
is expected
 
to be
 
removed by
 
the IASB
 
in due
 
course, although
 
the
timing of that has not been specified.
Other amendments to IFRS
Effective
 
from
 
1 January
 
2023,
 
UBS
 
has
 
adopted
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
minor
 
amendments to
 
IFRS,
 
which
 
have
 
had
 
no
significant effect on the Group.
Description Of Expected Impact Of Initial Application Of New Standards Or Interpretations
The amendments also introduced new
 
disclosure requirements in relation to
top-up tax, which will first apply to the Group’s
 
financial statements for the year ended 31 December
 
2023.
