On 20 March 2013 the Chancellor announced that the UK corporation tax rate will reduce to 20% by 1 April 2015.

A reduction in the rate from 25% to 24% (effective from 1 April 2012) was substantively enacted on 26 March 2012 and a further reduction to 23% (effective from 1 April 2013) was substantively enacted on 3 July 2012.

It has not yet been possible to quantify the full anticipated effect of the announced further 3% rate reduction, although this will further reduce the Group's future current tax charge and reduce the Group's deferred tax assets and liabilities accordingly.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities at 31 March 2013 have been calculated on the rate of 23% which was substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

   6     earnings per share 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit for the period as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Income divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding shares held by the Employee Share Ownership Trust, as follows:

 
                                                     2013      2012
