(*) The other adjustments correspond to the application of the 5% tax credit on investments retired prior to the five-year period established in the Corporate Income Tax Law. 16.3 Years open to review for corporate income tax Under Andorran tax law, tax liabilities cannot be considered definitively settled until either the tax returns filed have been inspected by the tax authorities or the statutory three-year limitation period has expired. Therefore, the Company has the last four years open to inspection for corporate income tax and the last three years for all the other taxes that are applicable to it.
The Company’s Directors believe that the settlements of those taxes have been done properly, so, even if differences were to arise in the interpretation of the regulations governing the tax treatment of its operations, such liabilities as could arise would not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
