Deferred taxes in 2010 include a negative effect of SEK –16m (–5) due to changes in tax rates. The low level of current tax in 2009 relates mainly to the effect of an extended period for tax loss carry-back in the US. As a result of this amended legislation, a tax refund was received in the fist quarter of 2010, amounting to SEK 370m. The consolidated accounts include deferred tax liabilities of SEK 165m (205) related to untaxed reserves in the Parent Company.

The theoretical tax rate for the Group is calculated on the basis of the weighted total Group net sales per country, multiplied by the local statutory tax rates. The effective tax rate for 2010 was positively impacted by recognition of US tax credits. The effective tax rate in 2009 was positively impacted by a reversal of a tax provision following a tax settlement in a European country.
