The difference compared to the nominal rate (25%) is the outcome of the revaluation of the deferred tax asset arising from the change to the corporate income tax rate. The recognised tax expense of €2 million is made up of tax charges of €4 million for 2021, less the movement in deferred tax of €2 million.
