The deferred tax assets and liabilities have been calculated at 25% (2023: 25%), the current corporation tax rate, and the rate at which they are expected to reverse. The Group has assessed that the deferred tax balances will be fully recoverable based on the Group’s five-year business plan and projection thereafter. In accordance with Paragraph 4A of IAS 12 “Income taxes”, the Group has not recognised nor disclosed information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The Group does not currently expect the effect of the Pillar Two legislation to have

a material impact on the tax position in future periods. Reconciliation of total income tax to the applicable tax rate
