Income Tax
Current tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the
corporate income tax currently payable and
deferred tax.
Amendments to taxation obligations are
recorded when an assessment is received or,
if appealed, when the result of the appeal is
determined. The underpayment/overpayment
of income tax are recorded as part of "Current
Tax" in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
Taxable profit is different from profit as
reported in the profit or loss because it
excludes items of income or expense that are
taxable or deductible in other years and it
further excludes items that are never taxable
or deductible.
