Tax Although the SRC has been recognised as profit in these financial statements, there has been no corresponding recognition in the FSA regulatory returns, on which the taxation of life assurance business is currently based. As the payment of incremental tax on this profit depends upon a future event, the occurrence of which is under the company's control, no event giving rise to the need to provide deferred tax has occurred. Accordingly no additional deferred tax has been provided. The maximum amount of such deferred tax not provided was £668m (2002: £655m). ================================================================================ Legal & General Group Plc P5 Notes to Financial Statements - Modified Statutory Solvency Basis Year ended 31 December 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.
