Unrecognised tax loss carryforwards
On the balance sheet date there were unrecognised tax loss carryforwards of CHF 65,855 thousand (prior year: CHF 36,179 thousand). The offsettability of loss carryforwards against future earnings involves uncertainty. This results in unrecognised deferred tax assets of CHF 17,851 thousand (prior year: CHF 11,000 thousand). Given the uncertainty involved in offsetting loss carryforwards against future earnings, deferred taxes are not capitalised (Swiss GAAP FER 11/23).
Unrecognised tax interest carryforwards
On the balance sheet date there were unrecognised tax interest carryforwards of CHF 9,926 thousand (prior year: CHF 11,783 thousand). The offsettability of interest carryforwards against future earnings for tax purposes involves uncertainty. This results in unrecognised deferred tax assets of CHF 2,382 thousand (prior year: CHF 2,828 thousand). Given the uncertainty involved in offsetting interest carryforwards against future earnings, deferred taxes are not capitalised (Swiss GAAP FER 11/23).
