Accounting policy
The Group’s tax for the period consists of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and preceding periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or from the tax authorities based on the tax rates and tax laws adopted or adopted on the balance sheet date. Current tax is tax pertaining to taxable profit for the period.
Deferred tax is recognized on all temporary differences that arise between the taxable value and carrying amount of assets and carrying amount of assets and liabilities and on deductible loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are recognized in the balance sheet to the extent it is likely that they can be utilized to offset future taxable surpluses. When calculating the Group's deferred tax asset and tax liability, the prevailing tax rate in each respective country is used.
Estimates and judgments

As a basis for these, they use market analyses, information regarding upcoming regulatory requirements and discussions with customers. Revaluation of deferred tax refers to the difference between theoretical tax and actual deferred tax.
