The tax expense for the period comprises of current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Deferred balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the statement of financial position date, except:
• The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
• Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
