Impact from new US Tax legislation
Following the recent changes to the US federal corporate tax
rate, the Group is not expecting any material impact on its
underlying effective tax rate for 2018 onwards. This is because
historically our effective tax rate on US profits has been reduced
by the offset of net operating losses brought forward and the
recognition of a deferred tax asset in relation to net operating
losses carried forward. We continue to consider the impact the full
US tax reform will have on the Group, however our current
expectation is that, as those net operating losses are utilised,
the reduction in US tax rates should allow the Group to maintain
the underlying effective tax rate at or around 28% going forward.
Were the composition of the Group structure to change in the
future, we would provide the market with an update on the
underlying effective tax rate impact at that point.
In 2017, the Group's US deferred tax assets will be revalued due
to the change in the federal corporate tax rate leading to a
one-off, non-cash, increase to the Group's underlying effective tax
rate in the year. There is potential for some other impacts from
the changes, the guidelines and regulations for which are still
being developed, however at this stage, they are not expected to be
material and overall we still expect the 2017 underlying effective
tax rate to be lower than the prior year.
John Menzies plc will announce its full year results on 13 March
2018.
