25.1 Accounting policy

Income tax shown in the profit and loss account includes the current and deferred parts.

The deferred part is the difference between the balance of deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end and at the beginning of the reporting period with a reservation that changes in deferred tax liabilities and assets related to operations charged to equity are also charged to equity.

The PZU Group is comprised of units operating in different countries and subject to different tax regulations. Regulations governing value added tax, corporate income tax, personal income tax or contributions to social security undergo frequent changes. The regulations in effect in the countries where the PZU Group operates also contain confusing provisions, which result in differences of opinion concerning their legal interpretation between various state authorities and enterprises. Tax and other settlements (e.g. regarding customs or foreign currencies) may be inspected by authorities (in Poland – for a period of five years), which may levy high fines and any additional liabilities assessed during the inspection bear interest. These phenomena generate tax risk, as a result of which the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements may change at a later date after the final amounts are determined by tax authorities.
