on deferred tax assets relating to capital allowances
in the United Kingdom which is shown above in
property, plant and equipment. The valuation al-
lowance decreased in total by euro 220 million in
2004 (2003: euro 204 million). A deferred tax ex-
pense of euro127 million (2003: euro 75 million)
arose in the United Kingdom from the utilisation of
tax losses and capital allowances.
Interest and currency derivatives recognised
directly in equity were euro 1,034 million (gross)
lower at the end of 2004 than one year earlier as
a result of reduced volumes and lower fair values.
Deferred tax liabilities recognised directly in equity
fell correspondingly by euro 406 million.
The actual tax expense for the financial year
2004 of euro 1,332 million (2003: euro 1,258 mil-
lion) is euro 51 million (2003: euro 31 million) lower
than the expected tax expense of euro 1,383 mil-
lion (2003: euro 1,289 million) which would theoreti-
cally arise if the tax rate of 38.90% (2003: 40.21%),
applicable for German companies, was applied
across the Group. The difference between the ex-
pected and actual tax expense is attributable to the
following:
