Impact of the US tax reform on Thule Group

Report this content

Following the recently decided tax reform in the US, the Thule Group estimates that the US federal tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% will have a positive impact on the Group's Effective Tax Rate paid in the US from 2018 onwards.

In the interim report as of 30 September, Thule Group reported deferred tax assets of approximately USD 40 million in the United States. Due to the reduction of federal tax, the value of the Group's deferred net tax assets is expected to decrease by approximately USD 14 million.

The write-down of deferred tax assets will be reported as a tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017.

This one-off write-down will have no cash flow impact.
