The EPL was set at 25% for profits arising from 26 May 2022 to 31 December 2022 and 35% for profits arising from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2028. On 3 March 2025, the UK Finance Bill 2024/25, which provides for the extension of the EPL from 31 March 2028 to 31 March 2030, was enacted. Consequently, the Group recognised a one-off deferred tax expense of approximately RM46,213,000 arising from the extension of EPL. The EPL is measured based on temporary differences from the expected future amortisation of intangible assets and depreciation of oil and gas assets up to 31 March 2030.
