c Reconciliation of the total tax charge in the Income statement 
 
The tax charge is calculated at the domestic rates applicable to profits or losses in the main countries of operation. The
tax charge on the profit for the year to December 31, 2016 and 2015 is lower than the notional tax charge. 
 
The differences are explained below:

1          The expected tax charge is calculated by aggregating the expected tax charges arising in each Group company. 
 
d Other taxes 
 
The Group also contributed tax and related revenues through payment of transaction and payroll related taxes and charges. A
breakdown of these other taxes and charges paid during 2016 is as follows: 
 
 E million                       2016   2015   
 Payroll related taxes           495    455    
 UK Air Passenger Duty           848    923    
 Other ticket taxes and charges  1,626  1,583  
                                 2,969  2,961  
 
 
The reduction in UK air passenger duty paid reflects foreign exchange movements and not a reduction in underlying
payments. 
 
e Factors that may affect future tax charges 
 
Unrecognised temporary differences - losses 
 
 E million                                                                                       2016  2015  
 Spanish corporate income tax losses and deferred finance costs                                  47    35    
 UK capital losses arising before the change in ownership of the UK Group in 2011                34    101   
 UK capital losses arising after the change in ownership of the UK Group in 2011                 8     10    
 UK capital losses arising on properties that were eligible for Industrial Buildings Allowances  296   350   
 Corporate income tax losses outside of the countries of main operation                          170   154   
 
 
Unrecognised temporary differences - investment in subsidiaries and associates 
 
No deferred tax liability has been recognised in respect of E170 million (2015: E795 million) of temporary differences
relating to subsidiaries and associates. The Group either controls the reversal of these temporary differences and it is
probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future or no tax consequences would arise from their reversal. 
 
UK tax rate changes 
 
A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate was substantively enacted in the year, in addition to those enacted in 2015. The
main rate of corporation tax applicable from April 1, 2020 was reduced from 18 per cent to 17 per cent. The deferred tax on
temporary differences and tax losses at December 31, 2016 was calculated at the rate applicable to the year in which the
temporary differences and tax losses are expected to reverse. 
 
Spanish tax law changes 
 
Changes in Spanish corporate income tax law were made towards the end of 2016. These changes included delaying the tax
deduction for certain expenditure and delaying the offset of brought forward tax losses, both of which accelerate tax
payable by the Group. There were also changes which increased prepayments of corporate income tax (current tax asset 2016:
E228 million). These changes are not expected to affect the total future tax charge. 
 
Tax audits 
 
The Group files income tax returns in many jurisdictions throughout the world. Tax returns contain matters that are subject
to potentially differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations, which may give rise to queries from and disputes with
tax authorities. The resolution of these queries and disputes can take several years. The Group does not currently expect
any material impact on the Group's financial position or results of operations to arise from such resolution. The extent to
which there are open queries and disputes depends upon the jurisdiction and the issue.

Basis for calculating recoverable amount 
 
The recoverable amounts of CGUs have been measured based on their value-in-use. 
 
Value-in-use is calculated using a discounted cash flow model, with the royalty methodology used for brands. Cash flow
projections are based on the Business plan approved by the Board covering a five year period. Cash flows extrapolated
beyond the five year period are projected to increase based on long-term growth rates. Cash flow projections are discounted
using the CGU's pre-tax discount rate. 
 
Annually the Group prepares and the Board approves five year business plans. Business plans were approved in the fourth
quarter of the year. The business plan cash flows used in the value-in-use calculations reflect all restructuring of the
business that has been approved by the Board and which can be executed by Management under existing agreements. 
 
Key assumptions 
 
For each of the CGUs the key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations are as follows:

1          Lease adjusted operating margin and ASK growth per annum assumptions are not applicable for the Avios loyalty
reward business, which conducts business with partners both within and outside IAG. 
 
Lease adjusted operating margin is the average annual operating result, adjusted for aircraft operating lease costs, as a
percentage of revenue over the five year Business plan to 2021. It is presented as a percentage point range and is based on
past performance, Management's expectation of the market development and incorporating risks into the cash flow estimates. 
 
ASK growth is the average annual increase over the Business plan, based on past performance and Management's expectation of
the market. 
 
The long-term growth rate is calculated for each CGU based on the forecasted weighted average exposure in each primary
market using gross domestic product (GDP) (source: Oxford Economics). This is reviewed each year and updated as necessary
to reflect management's view on specific market risk. 
 
Pre-tax discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration
the time value of money and underlying risks of its primary market. The discount rate calculation is based on the
circumstances of the airline industry, the Group and the CGU. It is derived from the weighted average cost of capital
(WACC). The WACC takes into consideration both debt and equity available to airlines. The cost of equity is derived from
the expected return on investment by airline investors and the cost of debt is broadly based on the Group's
interest-bearing borrowings. CGU specific risk is incorporated by applying individual beta factors which are evaluated
annually based on available market data. The pre-tax discount rate reflects the timing of future tax flows. 
 
Summary of results 
 
In 2016, Management reviewed the recoverable amount of each of its CGUs and concluded the recoverable amounts exceeded the
carrying values. 
 
In 2016, British Airways recognised an impairment charge of E14 million in respect of landing rights associated with its
Openskies operation, E11 million of which related to landing rights in the EU that have an indefinite life. The impairment
has arisen as a result of changes in Business plan assumptions for the Openskies operation. At December 31, 2016 the
remaining carrying value was E12 million, representing its value-in-use. 
 
Sensitivities 
 
Sensitivities have been considered for each CGU. No reasonable possible change in the key assumptions for any of the Groups
CGUs would cause the carrying amounts to exceed the recoverable amounts. 
 
17 Investments
