Deferred taxes According to the TAS 12 - Income Taxes; deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized, on all taxable temporary differences arising between the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their corresponding balances considered in the calculation of the tax base, and initial recognition of assets and liabilities which affect neither accounting nor taxable profit. The delayed tax debt or assets is determined by calculating the “taxable temporary differences “ between the assets’ and debts’ book values versus the values on the legal tax base accounts . According to tax legislation, differences that do not affect the financial or commercial profit of the assets or liabilities at the acquisition date are excluded from these calculations. According to December 8, 2004 BRSA.DZM.2/13/1-a-3 notice, there is no deferred tax assets on general provision and free provision. In addition to this, deferred tax asset calculation has started to be measured over temporary expected provision losses differences according to TFRS 9 articles, beginning from January 1, 2018. Deferred rate calculation for free provisions are not calculated. Deferred taxes’ book value is revised in every balance sheet date. If there is a condition met, where no possible taxable profit could be generated in case of a full or partial deferred tax asset benefit could be enabled by the Bank, the book value of the deferred tax asset will be decreased. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are reported as net in the financial statements only if the Bank has legal right to present the net value of current year tax assets and current year tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are income taxes of the same taxable entity. In case valuation differences resulting from the subsequent measurement of the items are recognized in the statement of income, then the related current and or deferred tax effects are also recognized in the statement of income. On the other hand, if valuation differences are recognized in shareholders’ equity, then the related current or deferred tax effects are also recognized directly in the shareholders’ equity.
