Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to the same fiscal authority, and there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net on a consolidated basis within a tax jurisdiction when there is a legally enforceable right to fiscal consolidation. As at December 31, 2025, deferred tax is presented on a gross basis in the consolidated statement of financial position as it is related to different tax jurisdictions and not eligible for offset.
