  The analysis of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is as follows:            
  Deferred tax assets            
  Deferred tax assets to be recovered after more than 12 months (561)       96  
  Deferred tax assets to be recovered within 12 months (30 237)       (24 748)  
  Net deferred tax asset (30 798)       (24 652)  
  Deferred tax liabilities            
  Deferred tax liabilities to be recovered after more than            
  12 months 42 306       28 758  
  Deferred tax liabilities to be recovered within 12 months 12 145       12 752  
  Net deferred tax liability 54 451       41 510  
  Net deferred tax 23 653       16 858  
  Where deferred tax assets have been recognised in respect of entities which have incurred losses in the current or prior years, a formal process of assessment of the future profitability of the entity has been performed based on detailed budgets and cash flow forecasts. As a result, management believes that the current tax losses will be utilised within one to five years.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognise deferred income tax assets of R42.6 million (2014: R37.1 million) in respect of losses amounting to R152.3 million (2014: R132.6 million) that can be carried forward against future taxable income.

There is no withholding tax that would be payable on any dividends received from the Group’s associates and joint ventures and therefore no deferred tax has been raised in this regard.
