Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that these assets will be realised in the short to medium term. The Group has total tax losses at 30 June 2024 of $57,116,716 (2023: $39,089,398). A future income tax benefit which may arise from tax losses of 25% of approximately $14,279,179 will only be obtained if: ▪ the parent and the subsidiaries derive future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised; ▪ the parent and the subsidiaries continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and ▪ no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Parent and the Subsidiaries in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses, i.e. current tax legislation permits carried forward tax losses to be carried forward indefinitely. No franking credits are available for subsequent years. Tax consolidation The tax consolidation scheme applies to the Company. As at the date of this report the Directors have assessed the financial effect the scheme may have on the Company and its consolidated entities and have decided to be taxed as a consolidated entity. The financial effect of the tax consolidation scheme on the Group has not been recognised in the financial statements.
