Deferred taxation

Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation
computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's
accounts. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an
obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected
to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws.
