Where deferred tax assets have been recognised in respect of entities which have incurred losses in the current or
prior years, a formal process of assessment of the future profitability of the entity has been performed based on
detailed budgets and cash flow forecasts. As a result, management believes that the current tax losses will be utilised
within one to five years.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realisation of the related tax
benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognise deferred income tax assets of
R44.3 million (2016: R44.3 million) in respect of losses amounting to R158.5 million (2016: R158.2 million) that
can be carried forward against future taxable income.
There is no withholding tax that would be payable on any dividends received from the Group’s equity accounted
associates and joint ventures and therefore no deferred tax has been raised in this regard. Deferred tax at the CGT
rate has been raised on investments in associates and joint venture that are classified as venture capital investments.
