Income tax benefit (expense)
The benefit (expense) for income taxes consists of the following (in millions):
Year ended December 31,
2012 2011 2010
Current:
Federal £ (0.6) £ (1.0) £ (4.9)
State and local — 0.3
Foreign 0.1 5.1 25.0
Total current (0.5) 4.1 20.4
Deferred:
Federal 103.4 3.2 79.8
Foreign 2,488.3 (23.3) 23.9
Total deferred 2,591.7 (20.1) 103.7
Total £ 2,591.2 £ (16.0) £ 124.1
The foreign deferred income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the reversal of the valuation
allowance on certain of our U.K. deferred tax assets. The federal income tax benefit for the year ended December
31, 2012 related to the reversal of the valuation allowance on the U.S. deferred tax assets in our dual resident companies.
Based on the location of the entity to which earnings are attributable, consolidated income from continuing operations
before income taxes for U.S. based operations was £45.4 million in 2012, losses of £122.4 million in 2011 and losses
of £61.3 million in 2010 and the corresponding amounts for non-U.S. based operations were income of £216.0 million
and £215.5 million in 2012 and 2011 respectively, and losses of £240.0 million in 2010 . However taxation of an entity's
earnings may not correlate solely to where an entity is located and because of this the distribution of income tax benefit
(expense) presented above between U.S. and non-U.S. may not correspond to the distribution of earnings presented
above.
The reconciliation of income taxes computed at U.S. federal statutory rates to income tax benefit (expense) attributable
to continuing operations is as follows (in millions):
Year ended December 31,
