Reductions in the UK corporation tax rate from 26% to 24% (effective from 1 April 2012) and to 23% (effective 1 April 2013) were substantively enacted on 26 March 2012 and 3 July 2012 respectively. Further reductions to 21% (effective from 1 April 2014) and 20% (effective from 1 April 2015) were substantively enacted on 2 July 2013. This will reduce the Company's future current tax charge accordingly. The deferred tax asset at 28 March 2014 has been calculated based on the rates of 20% and 21% substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

In this financial period, the UK corporation tax standard rate was 23% (2013: 24%).

The effective tax rate of 23.5% (2013: 25.7%) is higher than the UK corporation tax rate principally due to the non-deductibility of depreciation charged on capital expenditure and other permanent differences arising in the period.

The tax charge of £17.1m (2013: £18.3m) includes a charge of £0.1m (2013: £0.1m charge) in respect of tax on non-recurring items, as detailed in note 5.

An Income tax credit of £0.8m (2013: £0.7m charge) on other comprehensive income relates to the movement in fair value of forward currency contracts outstanding at the year end. No other items within other comprehensive income have a tax impact.
