Recognition and measurement

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to comprehensive income or directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly to comprehensive income or equity, respectively, or where it arises from an initial accounting for a business acquisition, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill.
