Deferred tax is measured at the rates that are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on the tax rates and law enacted at the balance sheet date.

Hire purchase and leasing:
Rentals payable under operating leases are charges in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
