Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except tothe extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversedat thestatement of financial position date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different fromthose in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of thetiming difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that theywill be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
