  The Spanish tax grouping has incurred taxation losses which have given rise to a deferred taxation asset of R157 million (2014: R151 million; 2013: R182 million). The grouping does not have sufficient temporary differences which would give rise to a deferred tax liabilities but the tax grouping has recognised a deferred taxation asset based on actions already taken within the businesses which have reduced the cost bases to allow the tax grouping to operate profitably. The continuing businesses of the Spanish tax jurisdiction were profitable in 2015. In addition the grouping has identified tax planning opportunities which can materially utilise the taxation asset.
