| (1) | The Group’s operations are primarily conducted in entities
subject to income tax and social contribution in Brazil. |
All material entities in Brazil are subject to
corporate income tax of 25%. Social contribution is generally levied at 20% for financial entities and 9% for non-financial entities.
The tax rate used was the one applicable to PicPay Bank, which represents the most significant portion of the operations of the Group.
The effect of other tax rates is shown in the table above as “Effect of different tax rates – subsidiaries”.
| (2) | As aforementioned on Note 10, PicPay recognized the deferred
tax asset on the previously unrecognized tax losses carryforward and temporary differences. |
| (3) | The Company benefited from tax incentives under the Brazilian
R&D program, which encourages technological innovation through research and development in technology. A total benefit was recognized
as a reduction to income tax expense. |
17.3 Unrecognized deferred tax assets
The Group has unrecognized deferred tax assets
in its subsidiaries for which it is not expected that future taxable profits will be sufficient to consume the deferred tax assets in
an appropriate period of time. The Group’s unrecognized deferred tax assets, shown on the table below, without expiration date,
were calculated on income tax losses and temporary differences at a rate of 34% for Guiabolso (and its subsidiary), and Crednovo; and
at a rate of 40% for PicPay Invest.
The reduction in the amount of unrecognized deferred
tax assets was due to the recognition of PicPay deferred tax assets presented on Note 10 above.
