Unreported deferred tax recoverables regarding loss carry-forwards

Ongoing correspondence between the Swedish Tax Authorities as well as assessments made together with external experts on the deductability of individual deductions have been taken into consideration when evaluating deferred tax recoverables. Deferred tax attributable to deductions where the right to deduct is uncertain has not been reported as an asset. The value of the deferred tax in Sweden which has not been reported as an asset per 2016-12-31 is approximately SEK 187 million (284).

In consideration of earlier years reported losses in the Norwegian operations, remains an uncertainty in the use of loss carry-forwards which amount to SEK 417 million (397). Those have not been activated. The fiscal value of the unactivated loss carry-forward is SEK 100 million (99).

Changed tax rates

As of 2017 the tax rate in Norway has changed to 24 percent from 25 percent which was the tax rate during 2016. 2015 the tax rate was 27 percent.
