Spanish Corporation Tax Law 27/2014, of 27 November, effective from 1 January 2015, which
establishes, among other changes, a change in the income tax rate to 28% in 2015 and 25%
in 2016 and subsequent years.
This change affects the balances of "Deferred Tax Assets" and "Deferred Tax Liabilities", which
must be adjusted to the tax rates at which are expected to be reversed.
Accordingly, the Company made an adjustment of EUR 34,475 thousand with a charge to
"Adjustments to Income Tax" arising from the calculation of the balance of "Deferred Tax
Assets" (deferred tax assets and tax loss carryforwards, see Table 16.5) and "Deferred Tax
Liabilities" (see Table 16.6) at the 28% rate and a subsequent calculation of these balances at
25% based on the Company's best estimate of the recovery of tax assets in future years.
16.5 Deferred tax assets recognised
The difference between the tax charge allocated to 2014 and to prior years and the tax charge
already paid or payable for such years, which is recognised under “Deferred Tax Assets”, arose
as a result of temporary differences derived from the following:
