203 Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

Deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised on the aggregate amount of temporary differences<br />

with consolidated investments in subsidiaries to the extent the Group considers such undistributed<br />

earnings as being indefinitely reinvested. The foreign entities are controlled by the Group and these<br />

earnings are not expected to be repatriated in the foreseeable future. The amount of such temporary<br />

differences was approximately CHF 5.6 billion as at 31 December <strong>2012</strong> (2011: CHF 4.4 billion). If such<br />

earnings are ever repatriated, no material tax liabilities would be incurred due to participation exemption<br />

rules, unrecognised tax loss carryforwards and applicable double taxation treaties.<br />

Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax-loss carryforwards only to the extent that realisation of the<br />

related tax benefit is probable. <strong>Swiss</strong> tax assets are calculated in accordance with cantonal and municipal<br />

tax legislation. The uncertainty of the utilisation of tax losses is taken into account in establishing the<br />

valuation allowance. For the following tax-loss carryforwards, which will expire as follows, no deferred<br />

tax asset has been recognised:<br />
