The rate of tax for the interim period is 27.5% (2015: 34.1%) of the profit before tax. The tax rate results from the impact of differing tax rates in each of the numerous jurisdictions in which the Group operates. In 2015, the tax rate of 34.1% was impacted by the phasing of the reorganisation costs, particularly in respect of Brazil, which did not give rise to a corresponding tax credit in the territories to which they relate.
