The Group holds provisions of £1,812 million (2012: £1,796 million) in respect of deferred taxation that would arise if temporary differences
on investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures were to be realised after the end of the reporting period (see table above).
No deferred tax liability has been recognised in respect of a further £47,978 million (2012: £51,267 million) of unremitted earnings of subsidiaries,
associates and joint ventures because the Group is in a position to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable
that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognised deferred tax liabilities
in respect of these unremitted earnings.
8. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is the amount of prot generated for the nancial year divided by the number of shares
in issue. The calculation is based on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. The total
number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share includes the impact of restricted shares and share
options, if dilutive, as if these were also issued.
