​ The Group has applied the mandatory exemption from recognising and disclosing information on the associated deferred tax assets and liabilities at 31 December 2024 as required by the amendments to IAS 12 ‘International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules’. At 31 December 2024 the Group has unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences of $1,477 million (31 December 2023: $1,319 million) in respect of which no deferred tax asset has been recognised. Of the unrecognised amounts, $123 million (31 December 2023: $108 million) relates to unused tax losses that will expire within the next ten years (potential tax benefit: $26 million) and the remainder of $1,354 million (31 December 2023: $1,211 million) has no expiry date (potential tax benefit: $260 million). Some of the Group’s businesses are located in jurisdictions in which a withholding tax charge is incurred upon the distribution of earnings. At 31 December 2024, deferred tax liabilities of $262 million (31 December 2023: $225 million) has not been recognised in respect of such withholding taxes as the Group is able to control the timing of the distributions and it is probable that the timing differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
