Income Tax continued Group’s management periodically evaluates the implementation of prevailing tax regulations especially those that are subject to further interpretation on its implementation, including evaluation on tax assessment letters received from tax authorities. Where appropriate the Bank establishes provisions based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. The balance sheet liability method is applied to determine income tax expense in Bank Mandiri and Subsidiaries. Under the balance sheet liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the consolidated statement of financial position at each reporting date. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, to the extent that realisation of such benefits is probable. Currently enacted or substantially enacted tax rates at the time deferred tax assets has been realised or deferred tax liabilities has been settled are used in the determination of deferred income tax. The changes to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the changes of tax rates are charged in the current year, except for transactions which previously have been directly charged or credited to shareholders’ equity. Amendments to taxation obligations are recorded when an assessment is received or, if appealed against, when the result of the appeal is determined. Management provides provision for future tax liability at the amount that will be payable to the tax office on probable tax exposure, based on assessment as at the date of consolidated statement of financial position.
