8.   Taxation 
 
Income tax expenses are recognised based on management's estimate of the
average annual headline income tax expected for the full financial year. 
 
The estimated headline effective annual tax rate (excluding associates) used
for the period to 30 June 2017 is 21.6% (30 June 2016: 21.2%). The increase in
the headline tax rate is due to increased profits made in USA. 
 
The estimated effective annual tax rate for the period to 30 June 2017 is
20.9% (30 June 2016: 15.5%). The difference between the headline and statutory
tax rates is caused by a difference in the profit before tax due to the impact
of fair value adjustments to minority shareholder put option liabilities that
have no effect on the tax charge.
