The rule in plain words
The Amount/estimate of Loss-absorbing capacity of deferred taxes should be equal to the sum of items "Amount/estimate of LAC DT justified by reversion of deferred tax liabilities", "Amount/estimate of LAC DT justified by reference to probable future taxable profit", "Amount/estimate of AC DT justified by carry back, current year", "Amount/estimate of LAC DT justified by carry back, future years"
The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
- 04EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark SR.25.01 as reported.
- 06This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
