Income tax in interim periods

For the purposes of interim financial reporting, the Company determines the appropriate income tax provision by first applying the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year to ordinary income. This amount is then adjusted for the tax effect of significant unusual items, for instance, changes in tax law, valuation allowances and non-deductible transaction-related expenses that are reported separately, and have an impact on the tax charge. The cumulative effect of any change in the enacted tax rate, if and when applicable, on the opening balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities is also included in the tax charge as a discrete event in the interim period in which the enactment date occurs.

The South African corporate income tax rate was expected to reduce from 28% to 27% from July 1, 2022. The change in the income tax rate has not been enacted as of September 30, 2022, and accordingly all deferred taxes assets and liabilities related to the Company’s South African operations are still recorded using the enacted corporate income tax rate of 28%.
