2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOuNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.)
2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)

(p) Income recognition (cont’d.)
(ii) Fee and other income recognition
Financing arrangement, management and participation fees, underwriting commissions, guarantee fees and
brokerage fees are recognised as income based on accrual on time apportionment method. Fees from advisory
and corporate finance activities are recognised at net of service taxes and discounts on completion of each
stage of the assignment.

Dividend income from securities is recognised when the Bank’s right to receive payment is established.
(q) Income and deferred taxes

Income tax for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes
payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the
reporting date.
Deferred tax is provided for using the liability method. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all
taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,
unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the
transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position date.
Deferred tax is recognised as income or expense and included in the statements of profit or loss for the period,
except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also
recognised directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the
deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or the amount of any excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net
fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the combination.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
