4 Income tax expense
This note analyses the tax charge for this financial year which includes both current and deferred tax. Current tax expense represents
the amount payable on this year’s taxable profits and any adjustments relating to prior years. Deferred tax is an accounting adjustment
to provide tax that is expected to arise in the future due to differences between accounting and tax bases.
This note outlines the tax accounting policies, the current and deferred tax charges in the year and presents a reconciliation of profit
before tax in the income statement to the tax charge.
Accounting policy
The taxation charge for the year represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The charge is recognised in the
income statement and statement of comprehensive income according to the accounting treatment of the related transaction.
Current tax payable or receivable is based on the taxable income for the period and any adjustment in respect of prior periods.
Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax arises due to certain temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax bases (note 11).
