The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the
reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it
relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. In this case,
tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively.
Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the
amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and
other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against
the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax
rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to
apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
