(b) Deferred tax (cont’d)
• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the
reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that
the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the
carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can
be utilised except:
• where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference
arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is
not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither
the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are
recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable
profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period
and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected
to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
each reporting period.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside
profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred
tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and
the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
