Trade tax provisions were recognised for Deutsche EuroShop Management GmbH. In addition, trade tax provisions of €1,462 thousand were recognised in connection with the acquisition of further shares in City-Point Kassel KG. This tax is to be paid by the seller. A receivable from the seller in the same amount is therefore included in the consolidated financial statements.
Real property tax provisions relate exclusively to companies in Germany.
