retail to UK and Continental Europe trade in order to correct a classification
error relating to foreign exchange differences in the prior year.

A change to the UK corporation tax rate was announced in the Chancellor's
Budget on 16 March 2016. The change announced is to reduce the main rate to
17% from 1 April 2020. Changes to reduce the UK corporation tax rate to 19%
from 1 April 2017 and to 18% from 1 April 2020 had already been substantively
enacted on 26 October 2015. The overall effect of these changes, if applied to
the deferred tax balance at the balance sheet date, would be to reduce the
deferred tax asset by an additional £9,000.
