The Agency has no deferred tax assets or liabilities.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward only to the extent that realisation of the related tax benefit is probable. A deferred income tax asset of €93m (2012: €133m) in respect of unutilised tax losses has been recognised in these financial statements. Based on the current year results, NAMA believes that future taxable profits will be available to offset any deferred tax asset recognised.

Deferred tax on derivatives is recognised on the difference between the tax base of derivatives (nil) and the fair value of derivatives at the reporting date. A net deferred tax asset of €110m (2012: €204m) has been recognised in relation to derivatives. In accordance with accounting standards, deferred tax on the fair value movement on derivatives is recognised where the related fair value is accounted for, i.e. either in the income statement or in other comprehensive income. A deferred tax charge of €65m (2012: benefit of €107m) has been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to deferred tax on the fair value movement on derivatives where hedge accounting is applied and available for sale assets (see Note 36).
