The Finance Act 2013 reduced the main rate of corporation tax from 25% to 23% from 1 April 2013. Further reductions to the main rate are proposed in the Finance Bill 2013 to reduce the rate by 2% in 2014 and 1% in 2015 to 20% from 1 April 2015. The 2% reduction to 23% has been substantively enacted at the end of the year, and therefore is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
The effect of the 2% rate change on the current year (2012: 2% rate change) was to increase the deferred tax liability by £0.5m (2012: £4.0m decrease) with a £14.2m charge (2012: £10.4m charge) being taken directly to reserves and a £13.6m tax credit (2012: £14.4m credit) to the income statement. Adjustments in future years are expected to be higher than the year ended 26 January 2013, assuming reductions proposed are substantively enacted annually and a comparable level of deferred tax.
