Investment & recognition
On 31 December 20X5, Taxico acquired 100% share in TaxPall for 220 000 EUR. The statement of
TaxPall's net assets is below. There is currently no deferred tax recognized in the accounts of TaxPall.

previous examples, calculate the deferred tax that would appear in Taxico's group accounts for the year
ended 31 December 20X5.
