The net amount receivable and payable of taxes and social securities includes a current income tax payable amounting to €3.9 million (2017: €5.0 million).

A tax group is in place for the income tax between the Company and Dutch group companies in which the Company has a 100% interest. The total current receivable or liability towards the tax authorities is accounted for in the statement of financial position of the head of the tax group. The comparative figures of prior year have been adjusted. Settlement of the taxes within the tax group takes place as if each company is independently liable for tax. As of 1 January 2018 Coöperatie FromFarmers U.A. is no longer part of the VAT tax group and ForFarmers N.V. is the head of the VAT tax group.
