ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEWS OVERVIEW
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
114 BT GROUP PLC ANNUAL REPORT & FORM 20-F
20. Deferred taxation continued
At 31 March 2009, the group had operating losses, capital losses and other temporary differences carried forward in respect of which
no deferred tax assets were recognised amounting to £24.3bn (2008: £23.3bn). The group’s capital losses and other temporary
differences have no expiry date restrictions. The expiry date of operating losses carried forward is dependent upon the tax law of the
various territories in which the losses arose. A summary of expiry dates for losses in respect of which restrictions apply is set out below:
2009 Expiry of
£m losses
Restricted losses:
Americas 271 2009-2029
Europe 1,875 2009-2024
Total restricted losses 2,146
Unrestricted losses:
Operating losses 3,410 No expiry
Capital losses 17,780 No expiry
Other 932 No expiry
Total unrestricted losses 22,122
Total 24,268
At the balance sheet date, the undistributed earnings of overseas subsidiaries was £10.1bn (2008: £10.6bn). No deferred tax liabilities
have been recognised in respect of these unremitted earnings because the group is in a position to control the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences and it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Temporary differences arising in
connection with interests in associates and joint ventures for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised are insignificant.
