Tax-effect accounting treatment associated with the transition to the group tax-sharing system

「With respect to the transition by the company and certain domestic consolidated subsidiaries to the group aggregation system established under the Act Partially Amending the Income Tax Act and Other Laws (Act No. 8 of 2020), and items for which the standalone taxation system was revised in connection with that transition, we have applied the treatment in Paragraph 3 of the Practical Response Report on the Application of Tax Effect Accounting for the Transition from the Consolidated Taxation System to the Group Aggregation System (Practical Response Report No. 39, dated 31 March 2020). Accordingly, Paragraph 44 of the Implementation Guidance on Tax Effect Accounting has not been applied, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the provisions of the tax laws before amendment.」
