On 15 February 2007, the Government announced a 2% points reduction in statutory tax rate from Year of Assessment
2008. The financial effect of the reduction in tax rate was reflected in the 2006-07 accounts. The aggregate adjustment of
the prior year’s deferred tax liabilities was $246.7 million for the Group.
The Group has tax losses of approximately $22.9 million (2007: $26.9 million) that are available for offset against future
taxable profits of the companies in which no deferred tax assets are recognised due to uncertainty of its recoverability. The
use of the tax losses is subject to the agreement of the tax authorities and compliance with certain provisions of the tax
legislation of the respective countries in which the companies operate.
A reconciliation between taxation expense and the product of accounting profit multiplied by the applicable tax rate for the
