The total income tax expense for 2022 amounts to 1 928m US dollar compared to 2 350m US dollar for 2021. The effective
tax rate is 18.6% for 2022 compared to 28.6% for 2021.
The 2022 effective tax rate is positively impacted by non-taxable gains from derivatives related to hedging of share-based
payment programs and hedging of the shares issued in a transaction related to the combination with Grupo Modelo and
SAB, while the 2021 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by non-deductible losses from these derivatives. In addition,
the 2022 effective tax rate was positively impacted by higher distribution of interest on shareholders' equity from Brazil and
lower non-deductible costs. The 2022 effective tax rate includes 350m US dollar benefit from a reorganization which
resulted in the utilization of current year and carry forward interests for which no deferred tax asset was recognized (refer
to Note 8 Non-underlying items).
The company benefits from tax exempted income and tax credits which are expected to continue in the future. The
company does not have significant benefits coming from low tax rates in any particular jurisdiction.
The normalized effective tax rate for 2022 is 23.0% (2021: 28.0%). The normalized effective tax rate excluding mark-to-
market gains or losses on derivatives related to the hedging of share-based payment programs for 2022 is 23.8% (2021:
27.9%).
Normalized effective tax rate is the effective tax rate adjusted for non-underlying items. Normalized effective tax rate is not
an accounting measure under IFRS accounting and should not be considered as an alternative to the effective tax rate.
Normalized effective tax rate method does not have a standard calculation method and AB InBev's definition of normalized
tax rate may not be comparable to other companies.
