Tax authorities may conduct inspection of accounting ledgers and tax settlements within 5 years after the end of the year in which tax returns were filed and charge the Group with additional tax liability, penalties and interest.

The Parent Company’s Management Board does not anticipate any significant tax liabilities to arise on this account.

In these consolidated financial statements, income tax was calculated at the effective tax rate of 22.62% for 2012 which resulted from recognition in comprehensive income of the profit-sharing payments to employees in the amount of PLN 150.0 million (of which PLN 130.0 million for JSW S.A. employees).

The effective tax rate in 2011 was 22.02%, which resulted from recognition in comprehensive income of the costs of the employee share ownership program in the amount of PLN 293.0, profit-sharing payments to employees in the amount of PLN 160.0 million and income on account of interest on property tax in the amount of PLN 75.8 million.

In connection with the adoption of IFRS and new tax interpretations being issued, on 15 June 2012 JSW S.A. filed a request with the Director of the Katowice Treasury Chamber to issue an individual interpretation on recognition of profit-sharing payments to employees as tax-deductible expenses. On 18 September 2012, JSW S.A. received a negative individual tax interpretation, which on 4 December 2012 it challenged before the Voivodship Court of Administration in Gliwice.
