Significant accounting policies (cont’d.)
2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)
(v) Income taxes (cont’d.)
(ii) Deferred tax (cont’d.)
-
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary companies,
associated companies 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, 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 subsidiary companies,
associated companies 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 each reporting date 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 each reporting date and are recognised to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to 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 reporting date.
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
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
