component of an enterprise that is engaged in
providing products or services within a particular
economic environment and that is subject to risks
and returns that are different from those of
components operating in other economic

or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is
measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantially enacted as at the
reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are
recognised for all timing differences. Deferred
tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation

and carry forward of losses are recognised only if
there is virtual certainty that there will be
sufficient future taxable income available to
realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are
recognised for timing differences of other items

that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which these can be realised.
