The other changes of €120 million relate to the use, for the benefit of the income statement, of the deferred tax liabilities provision that became redundant following Ruling 10/2015 of the Constitutional Court declaring the unconstitutionality of Article 81, paragraphs 16, 17 and 18 of Decree Law No. 112 of 25 June 2008, “Urgent provisions for economic development, simplification, competitiveness, stabilisation of the public finances and tax standardisation”, converted into law, with amendments, by Article 1, paragraph 1 of Law No. 133 of 6 August 2008, as subsequently amended (the additional corporation tax known as the “Robin Hood Tax”).

Prepaid tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are considered to be long term.

Note 30 – “Income taxes” provides information about taxes for the year.
