In 2004, the Italian statutory tax rate was reduced to 37.25%. As a consequence, deferred tax
assets and liabilities have been recomputed in line with the new tax rate. The result of the change
in the Italian tax rate was immaterial and has been included in deferred tax expense.
Italian companies’ taxes are subject to review pursuant to Italian law. As of December 31, 2006, tax
years from 2001 through the most recent year were open for such review.Certain Luxottica Group
subsidiaries are subject to tax reviews for previous years and during 2005 a wholly owned Italian
subsidiary was subjected to a tax inspection. As a result of this, some insignificant recorded losses
were reversed and an immaterial amount was accrued for as a liability. Management believes no
significant unaccrued liabilities will arise from the related tax reviews.
