18. Corporate income tax

The corporate income tax item consists of the corporate income tax refund for 2022 and the corporate income tax payable for 2024 after offsetting against the assessed tax liabilities. The refund for 2022 results from the partial settlement of the 2023 tax loss against the corporate income tax paid for 2022. This item also includes investment deductions that can be offset in future tax returns.

The final assessments over the years up to and including 2021 have been imposed. There were no uncertain tax liabilities at year-end 2024.
