4. 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 at 30.6.03
was £676m (30.6.02, £690m; 31.12.02, £655m).
