Deferred tax asset

The deferred tax asset of the Company is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related taxation benefits will be realised. Management is of the view that the deferred tax asset raised in the prior year is not recoverable and it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The deferred tax asset was reversed at 31 December 2023.

The Company had an assessable tax loss of R52m at 31 December 2023 (2022: R8m). The tax loss has no expiry date, and no deferred tax asset have been raised on this loss.
