6. Taxation

(a) Income tax (benefit)/expense

Accounting policy

Expense

Policy

Current tax

Represents the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years

Deferred tax

Represents the expense relating to future tax consequences of all transactions undertaken in the current year regardless of when their tax impact may occur.
