Other information

Off-balance sheet rights and commitments

For corporate income tax purposes, Nedap N.V. formed a fiscal entity with Nedap Beveiligingstechniek B.V. up to 31 May 2023 at which time this subsidiary was sold.

All companies are jointly and severally liable for payment of income tax due. The tax positions are settled between the companies through the current account.

A number of subsidiaries depend on Nedap N.V. continuing to make financing available. Nedap N.V. has, therefore, issued Letters of Support for Nedap Asia Ltd. and Nedap Great Britain Ltd., confirming that repayment of the financing will not be claimed within 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. Furthermore these letters state, amongst others, Nedap N.V.'s intention to provide sufficient funds to ensure that these subsidiaries are able to meet normal trading liabilities as they fall due and and confirms that current transfer pricing agreements will not be terminated within the aforementioned periode of 12 months.

The change in the domestic tax rate is caused by a tax rate of 19.0% on the first €200 of taxable profit (15.0% on the first €395 of taxable profit in 2022). The net tax rate for the branch outside the Netherlands is higher than the nominal rate in the Netherlands, which leads to an increase in the effective tax rate of 0.1%.

Non-deductible expenditures are largely costs relating to share-based remuneration. Besides a small amount for the Energie/Milieu Investerings Aftrek (EIA/MIA, Energy/ Environmental Investment Tax Credit) (€-1 (€-7 in 2022)), tax incentive schemes consist of benefits ensuing from application of the Innovation Box tax regime (€-2,020 (€-1,604 in 2022)).
