The Group's effective tax rate (ETR) for the period was 24.2% (June 2024: 22.0%). The Group's Adjusted ETR for continuing operations before amortisation of intangible assets (excluding computer software), one-off items and the net interest adjustments for the period was 25.0% (June 2024: 23.1%). This compares with a blended rate of tax for the countries in which the Group operates of 25.2% (June 2024: 25.3%).

The Group's tax charge and Adjusted ETR will be influenced by the global mix and level of profits, changes in future tax rates and other tax legislation, foreign exchange rates, the utilisation of brought-forward tax losses on which no deferred tax asset has been recognised, the resolution of open issues with various tax authorities, acquisitions and disposals.
