Uncertain tax positions
Uncertain tax positions includes provisions related to VAT for USD 1,532 thousand (2024: USD 1,506 thousand), provisions related to Withholding Tax (WHT) for USD 4,895 thousand (2024: USD 8,626 thousand) and provisions related to other taxes for USD 846 thousand (2024: USD 1,558 thousand). Provisions are calculated based on the detailed review of uncertain tax positions completed by management across the Group and in consideration of the probability of a liability arising, within the applicable statute of limitations. These provisions are expected to be utilized or released as a result of the
regular tax audits in the Countries where the Group operates. When the technical merits of tax filings get clarified and confirmed with the tax authorities, as happened in 2024 and 2025, this reduces the overall uncertainty in the Group's tax positions, resulting in a reversal of provisions.
Marketplace and consignment goods
The provision for marketplace and consignment goods relates to the lost and damaged items, which are to be reimbursed to the sellers. The provision is calculated based on the detailed review of these items, and it is expected that these costs will be incurred in the next financial year.
Provision for other expenses
Provision for other expense includes the end-of-service gratuity and post retirement benefits provision of USD 721 thousand (2024: USD 638 thousand), and various litigation and penalty provisions of USD 940 thousand (2024: USD 781 thousand). The provisions are calculated based on our best estimate considering past experience.
