For an amount of gross EUR 423 million; tax EUR 109 million related to deferred tax assets for tax losses from the continued operations the recognition is depended on the reversal of taxable temporary differences, refer to note
51 Discontinued operations.
Aegon did not recognize deferred tax assets in respect of deductible temporary differences relating to Financial assets and Other items for the amount of gross EUR 29 million; tax EUR 5 million (2021: gross EUR 30 million; tax EUR 6 million).
In 2021 deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized for withholding tax and other taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain subsidiaries. The unremitted earnings totaled gross EUR 1,770 million; tax EUR 455 million calculated at the enacted rates. In 2022 an amount of gross EUR 1,758 million; tax EUR 454 million was recognized which is accounted for in discontinued operations and the remaining amount of gross EUR 11 million; tax EUR 1 million is no longer accounted for since this related to the divested business of Hungary.
Deferred taxes are
non-current
by nature and the majority of the deferred tax assets and liabilities will therefore reverse after more than one year after the balance sheet date. For an amount of EUR 109 million deferred tax assets will reverse within one year.
