ELECTROCOMPONENTS PLC
Impact on Electrocomponents from new US tax legislation
Electrocomponents plc notes the approval of the new US tax legislation and Jobs Act. We continue to work through the full impact of these changes on Electrocomponents and will give more detailed guidance on the impact of these changes at our final results in May.
For the year to 31 March 2018 we currently anticipate that the announced changes will have minimal impact on the Group effective tax rate, which we have previously guided will be in line with the H1 effective tax rate of 28%. However, we expect that the changes will result in a non-cash exceptional tax credit as a result of the revaluation of deferred tax balances.
For the year to March 2019 we currently anticipate that the changes will reduce the Group effective tax rate percentage to the mid-twenties.
