1 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Tax assets must equal deferred tax assets plus current tax assets (F 17.01, EBA rule v1976_h)

A warning in the financial reporting return (FINREP 9), on template F 17.01, reconciliation between IFRS and CRR scope of consolidation: assets.

The rule in plain words

Tax assets must equal deferred tax assets plus current tax assets.

All the values are in the accounting scope of consolidation [carrying amount] column (0010) of F 17.01.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

Tax assets = Deferred tax assets + Current tax assets

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 17.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Deferred tax assets1,200
Current tax assets800
Together2,000
What the rule then expects

Tax assets must then be 2,000.

2,000Passes
2,100Fails

A file that reports 2,000 passes. One that reports 2,100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
