The total charge for the period can be reconciled to the accounting profit as follows:

The tax rate used in the above reconciliation is the corporate tax rate of 33% payable by New Zealand corporate entities on taxable profits under New Zealand tax law. The corporate tax rate in New Zealand is to change from 33% to 30% with effect from 1 April 2008. This revised rate has not impacted the current tax payable for this current year but will do so in future periods. However, the impact of the change in tax rate has been taken into account in the measurement of deferred taxes at the end of the reporting period.

All temporary differences have been recorded in the financial statements.
