according to the lowest value principle. For derivatives used for hedging, rec-
ognition is determined by the hedged item. is means that the derivative is
treated as an o balance sheet item as long as the hedged item is recognised at
cost or is not included on the balance sheet. Receivables and liabilities in for-
eign currency hedged with forward contracts are valued at the forward rate.

of Pension Commitments and the regulations of the Swedish Financial
Supervisory Authority, since this is a condition for tax deductibility.

ferences. Due to the connection between reporting and taxation, the deferred
tax liability is recognised in the Parent Company as part of untaxed reserves.

ent and capitalised in the shares and participating interests of the contributor,

means that Group contributions paid in order to minimise the Groups total
taxes are recognised directly against retained earnings aer deducting the
current tax eect. Group contributions equated with dividends are recog-
nised as a dividend. is means that Group contributions received and the
eect on current tax are recognised in prot or loss. Group contributions
paid and eect on current tax are recognised directly in retained earnings.
Group contributions equated with shareholders’ contributions are recog-
nised by the recipient directly in retained earnings taking into account the
eect on current tax. e contributor recognises Group contributions and
the eect on current tax as an investment in shares in Group companies with
subsequent impairment testing.
