In general, deferred tax liabilities are recorded for non-refundable withholding taxes or other taxes on unremitted earnings in Group companies if earnings are planned to be remitted. As at 31 December 2018 and 2017, there were no such earnings, except for the Chinese subsidiaries. On the unremitted earnings from China, no deferred tax liabilities were recorded, as no plan exists to remit these earnings. Such a transfer of earnings would lead to income taxes of MCHF 0.2.

The Group recognises deferred tax assets from loss carryforwards if they comply with the requirements of IAS 12. The following loss carryforwards (listed by maturity) were used for the calculation of deferred tax assets:

	2018	Without deferred tax asset	With deferred tax asset	2017	Without deferred tax asset	With deferred tax asset
	MCHF	MCHF	MCHF	MCHF	MCHF	MCHF
