1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 17 March 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A balancing check across capital adequacy: Memorandum items and capital adequacy: own funds definition (C 04.00, C 01.00, row 0490, EBA rule v6068_m)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on templates C 01.00, capital adequacy - own funds definition and C 04.00, capital adequacy - Memorandum items.

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 17 March 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

Deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and arise from temporary differences minus the absolute value of deductible deferred tax liabilities associated with deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and arise from temporary differenc must equal (-) deductible deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and arise from temporary differences.

All the values are in the amount column (0010).

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
