During the year the Group has incurred restructuring costs of £10.5m (2016 -
£24.8m) as part of a Group-wide programme commenced in 2016 to better align
the organisation with the Ignite strategy. The costs incurred comprise
headcount reduction and costs associated with the redevelopment of the third
party Retail network in certain markets.
Exceptional costs of £2.1m (2016 - £8.8m) have been incurred in connection
with the acquisition and integration of the Subaru, Hino and associated
Distribution businesses in South America which were acquired in 2016.
In 2016, the Group made configuration changes to the iPower system to better
reflect the Ignite strategy, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of
£23.1m, and impaired the carrying value of goodwill relating to businesses in
Lithuania and Estonia.

 Total tax charge                                 93.1      76.5
 The total tax charge is analysed as follows:
 - Tax charge on profit before exceptional items  95.8      88.0
 - Tax credit on exceptional items                (2.7)     (11.5)
 Total tax charge                                 93.1      76.5
Details of the exceptional items for the year can be found in note 3. Not all
of the exceptional items will be allowable for tax purposes. Therefore the tax
credit on exceptional items represents the total of the current and deferred
tax on only those elements that are assessed as allowable.
Factors affecting the tax expense for the year
The effective tax rate for the year after exceptional items is 25.2% (2016 -
28.6%). The underlying effective tax rate before the impact of exceptional
items is 25.0% (2016 - 25.2%). The weighted average tax rate is 24.0% (2016 -
24.1%). The weighted average tax rate comprises the average statutory rates
across the Group, weighted in proportion to accounting profits and losses.
The table below explains the differences between the expected tax expense at
the weighted average tax rate and the Group's total tax expense.
                                                                                 2017 £m    2016 £m

Factors affecting the tax expense of future years
Factors that could affect the Group's future tax expense include the
resolution of audits and disputes, changes in tax laws or tax rates, the
ability to utilise brought forward losses and business acquisitions and
disposals. In addition, a change in profit mix between low and high taxed
jurisdictions will impact the Group's future tax expense.
The utilisation of brought forward tax losses or the recognition of deferred
tax assets associated with such losses may also give rise to tax charges or
credits. The recognition of deferred tax assets, particularly in respect of
tax losses, is based upon an assessment of whether it is probable that there
will be sufficient and suitable taxable profits in the relevant legal entity
or tax group against which to utilise the assets in the future. Judgement is
required when determining probable future taxable profits.
During the year governments in a number of markets in which the Group operates
implemented tax reform programmes which included significant rule changes or
reductions in corporate tax rates, or both. As such the tax charge for the
year includes the estimated cost of the transition tax resulting from US tax
reforms in relation to the Group's operations in Guam and Saipan included in
"Taxes on undistributed earnings" (£1.8m). This amount is partially offset by
remeasurement of deferred tax balances at the new US corporate tax rate of 21%
included in "Other items (including tax rate differentials and changes)"
(£0.4m).

During the year the Group has incurred restructuring costs of £10.5m (2016 -
£24.8m) as part of a Group-wide programme commenced in 2016 to better align
the organisation with the Ignite strategy. The costs incurred comprise
headcount reduction and costs associated with the redevelopment of the third
party Retail network in certain markets. 
 
Exceptional costs of £2.1m (2016 - £8.8m) have been incurred in connection
with the acquisition and integration of the Subaru, Hino and associated
Distribution businesses in South America which were acquired in 2016. 
 
In 2016, the Group made configuration changes to the iPower system to better
reflect the Ignite strategy, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of
£23.1m, and impaired the carrying value of goodwill relating to businesses in
Lithuania and Estonia.
