37. Income Tax Expense
2012
¤ in K € in K2011 Current income taxes –26,009 –33,631 Deferred taxes –3,667 10,090
–29,676 –23,541
As a matter of principle, domestic income taxes have been calculated at 30.0% of the estimated taxable profit for fiscal 2012. Income generated outside Germany is taxed at the particular rates that are valid in the corresponding country.
The expected income tax rate must be used for de- ferred taxes at the time the temporary difference is reversed. This rate has been calculated for German companies on the basis of the tax rates of around 30% that have been applicable since 2008. Taking the local tax rates that are to be applied for subsidiaries outside
Germany into account, it is assumed that the income tax rate will average 32.0%. The following table shows the difference between the tax expense to be expected and the income tax expenses reported for each particular fiscal year:
2012
¤ in K € in K2011 Expected tax expense (32.0%) –30,059 –24,428 Difference from the Group
average income tax rate 1,289 2,565 Effects from losses and
interest carried forward and from temporary differences for which no deferred taxes
were accrued –1,615 –3,047 Tax-free income and tax
credits 1,927 999
Expenses not deductible for
tax purposes –1,988 –2,853 Adjustments from previous
years 1,698 4,219
Withholding and similar
taxes –1,068 –901
Other 140 –96
–29,676 –23,541
Effective tax rate 31.6% 30.8%
The effects arising from losses and interest carried forward, for which no deferred taxes were accrued, involve, to a partial extent, the consequential effects resulting from the spin-off of the operating business of Sartorius AG and transfer to its 100% subsidiary Sartorius Weighing Technology GmbH in 2011. The item “Adjustments from previous years” discloses, in particular, the positive effects from the use of losses and interest carried forward for which no deferred taxes had to be accrued. Taxation of the hidden assets and liabilities disclosed offset these positive effects.

38. Earnings per Share
According to IAS 33, Earnings per Share, the earnings per share for each class must be determined separately. In this case, the higher dividend entitlement of cur- rently two euro cents for preference shares must be taken into account. The undiluted earnings per share (basic EPS) are calculated on the basis of the number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earn- ings per share (diluted EPS) were not calculated be- cause there are no option or conversion rights to be exercised on Sartorius shares.
