29. Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are accounted for in accordance
with IAS 12 (Income Taxes). They result primarily
from tax loss carryforwards at Deutsche Post AG
and Deutsche Postbank AG. In compliance with
IAS 12.24 (b), deferred tax assets can only be recog-
nized for temporary differences between the carry-
ing amounts in the financial accounts and in the
tax accounts of Deutsche Post AG and Deutsche
Postbank AG where the differences have arisen after
January 1, 1996. No deferred tax assets may be recog-
nized for initial differences in carrying amounts in
the opening tax accounts of Deutsche Post AG and
Deutsche Postbank AG as of January 1, 1996.
Deferred tax assets are composed as follows:
The increase in deferred tax assets recognized
on temporary differences at the Deutsche Postbank
group results from the application of IAS 39, and in
particular the first-time recognition of derivatives
and of the fair values of financial instruments held
for trading and available-for-sale financial instru-
ments.
Deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards
are broken down as follows:
Of the total tax loss carryforwards, around 3.1
billion (previous year: 2.6 billion) was not used to
recognize deferred tax assets.
The following deferred tax assets on temporary
differences result from differences in the carrying
amounts of individual balance sheet items:
