The differences between income tax expenses computed at the weighted-average applicable tax rate of the Group of 13.9% (PY: 12.5%) and the effective income tax expenses were as follows:

  2018 2017
  MCHF MCHF
Income tax expenses, at applicable rate 95.7 76.8
Operating losses with no current tax benefit 0.1 13.9
Offsetting of current profits against loss carryforwards without tax assets -4.8 -1.3
Changes in future tax rates 0.1 -0.7
Non-deductible expenses and non-taxable income, net 2.5 0.4
Other -3.6 -4.2
Total income tax expenses 90.0 84.9

The increase of the weighted-average applicable tax rate of the Group by 140 bp in 2018 mainly results from the MCHF 45 restructuring costs in France, which were considered in 2017 as deductible for the calculation of the theoretical tax rate.

In 2018 and 2017, the position “Other” mainly includes tax benefits from the capitalisation of loss carryforwards following improved operational performance. The position “Operating losses with no current tax benefit” contains the not capitalised loss in France which resulted from the aforementioned restructuring costs.
