NZX ANNOUNCEMENT 1 AUGUST 2024



TAX CHANGE WILL AFFECT MCK INTERIM RESULTS


Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (MCK) advises that changes to tax legislation

which removed the ability to claim tax depreciation on commercial buildings will result in a one-off, non-

cash deferred tax liability adjustment. The adjustment, which amounts to approximately $26 million,

arose from a change in tax legislation that came into effect this year and relates to the depreciation of

buildings owned by MCK.


MCK notes that the adjustment will be a one-off, non-cash deferred tax expense which will be recognised

in the current financial year and will have no impact on MCK’s trading profitability or cash flows.


Since the passing of the law change, MCK has been assessing the impact of the change and sought

external accounting and taxation advice. The assessment has proved to be complex given MCK’s hotel

and other property portfolio.


MCK expects to release its 2024 interim results in the first half of August.
