24 Taxation
This is the total taxation due on the profits from the domestic and foreign
activities of the Group in the year under review.
Taxation increased overall by 6.3%, although the tax burden declined.
There was a net increase in taxation in respect of domestic activities mainly
owing to the increase in gross profit while for foreign activities there was a net
fall, attributable amongst others, to more generous fiscal allowances in some
countries.
