Den Haag, 1-3-10

KPN settled the preliminary Dutch corporate income tax assessment for 2010 by a prepayment of EUR 543 mn to the Dutch tax authorities in Q1 2010. As a result, KPN has benefitted from a EUR 6 mn discount based on the applicable Dutch tax legislation for such a prepayment. KPN has made the prepayment by using its temporary surplus cash position.

Last year, KPN also settled the preliminary Dutch corporate income tax assessment by a prepayment, instead of paying monthly installments. The prepayments in both 2009 and 2010 lead to an increased seasonality pattern in free cash flow on a quarterly basis.
