========================================================================================================================
4. Tax
FRS19, Deferred tax, has been adopted and the 2001 comparatives restated
accordingly. The principal impact is the recognition of additional deferred tax
in respect of unrealised appreciation of investments and future tax relief for
acquisition expenses. Profits after tax for 1H01 and FY01 increased by £4m and
£47m respectively. Shareholders' funds increased by £72m at 30.6.01 and £115m at
31.12.01, and the Fund for future appropriations reduced by £443m and £405m,
respectively. Deferred tax provisions have not been discounted.
Although the SRC has been recognised as profit in these financial statements,
there has been no corresponding recognition in the FSA regulatory returns, on
which the taxation of life assurance business is currently based. As the payment
of incremental tax on this profit depends upon a future event, the occurence of
which is under the company's control, no event giving rise to the need to
provide deferred tax has occurred. Accordingly no additional deferred tax has
been provided. The maximum amount of such deferred tax not provided at 30.6.02
was £690m (30.6.01, £650m; 31.12.01, £768m).
