The Group determines the provision for income tax based on the highest amount between taxable income and presumptive income (the minimum estimated amount of taxable profit on which the law expects to quantify and collect income taxes). Taxable income differs from profit before tax as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, because of: items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods, special taxable deductions, tax losses and income and line items measured that, according to applicable tax laws in each jurisdiction, are considered nontaxable or nondeductible.
