In addition to those amounts for which Group companies are liable to pay tax, tax liabilities also include taxes paid for the account of third parties. Payables relating to social security refer in particular to social security contributions that have yet to be paid. The other payroll liabilities include, in particular, vacation and flextime credits as well other HR-related liabilities.

The advance payments received are primarily connected with future polysilicon deliveries resulting from the capacity expansions at the polysilicon plant in Germany.
