Accounting policy
Deferred taxation is recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxation is not recognised for the following temporary differences:
- The initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit
- Goodwill that arises on initial recognition in a business combination, and
- Differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred taxation asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation assets are reviewed at each
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related taxation benefit will be realised.
Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are measured at the taxation rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on taxation rates and taxation laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date.
The effect of any changes in taxation rates on deferred taxation is recognised in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent
that it relates to items previously charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income or equity.
Deferred taxation assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current taxation liabilities and assets,
and they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity. |
