What does the Article mean in plain language?
A prior-year tax adjustment generally enters the recording year, but a Covered Tax decrease requires recomputation of the earlier year and related income. An annual election permits an aggregate decrease below EUR 1 million to enter the current year. If more than EUR 1 million of included current tax remains unpaid after three years, recompute its original year excluding the unpaid amount. Separate rules address rate changes and deferred tax. Distinguish the below-one-million election from the above-one-million unpaid-tax trigger.
