As of August 31, 2021 , the deferred tax assets arising from tax loss carry-forwards amount to 97 million euro (77 million euro as of August 31, 2020 ). Brazil and Germany are the main countries with tax loss carry-forwards recognized (for those countries, the use of tax loss carry-forwards is unlimited). The recoverability of the deferred tax assets arising from tax loss carry-forwards is assessed based on a business plan performed at the level of each tax jurisdiction.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets arising from tax loss carry-forwards because their recovery is considered to be uncertain amounted to 192 million euro as of August 31, 2021 (170 million euro as of August 31, 2020 ), including 10 million euro generated by subsidiaries prior to their acquisition (19 million euro as of August 31, 2020 ). France is the main country with unrecognized deferred tax assets on tax loss carry-forwards. Unrecognized deferred tax assets arising from tax losses generated within the French tax group in Fiscal 2021 amount to 39 million euro.
Temporary differences on employee-related liabilities relate primarily to post-employment benefits.
A provision is recognized ifthe Group has a legal or constructive obligation at the closing date and it is probable that settlement of the obligation will require an outflow of resources and the amount of the liability can be reliably measured.
Provisions primarily cover commercial, employee-related and tax-related risks and litigation (other than those related to income tax) arising in the course of operating activities, and are measured using assumptions that take account of the most likely outcomes.
Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and any risks specific to the liability.
A provision for onerous contracts is established where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
