Deferred tax is: — Recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for f inancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. — Not recognised for the initial recognition of goodwill. — Measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse. On 26 March 2020, the COVID–19 Response (Taxation and Social Assistance Urgent Measures) Act 2020 received royal assent. The Act has reinstated Vector’s ability to deduct non–residential building depreciation for tax purposes. The group has recognised a reduction in deferred tax liability of $3.5 million as a result.
