there is a legally enforceable right of offset and there is an intention
to settle the balances net. Deferred tax assets arising from the Group’s
trading and capital losses are recognised on the basis that there will
be sufficient profits in the forseeable future to utilise such losses. Movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities (prior to the offsetting of balances) are shown above. |
