8. Taxation
Isle of Man
There is no taxation payable on the Company's or its Jersey subsidiaries' results as they are based in the Isle of Man and in Jersey respectively where the Corporate Income Tax rates for resident companies are 0% (2022: 0%). Additionally, neither the Isle of Man nor Jersey levies tax on capital gains.
Consequently, shareholder's resident outside of the Isle of Man and Jersey will not incur any withholding tax in those jurisdictions on any distributions made to them.
Bulgaria
Subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in Bulgaria are taxed in accordance with the applicable tax laws of Bulgaria. The Bulgarian corporate tax rate for the year was 10% (2022: 10%).
No deferred tax assets are recognised on trading losses in the subsidiary companies as there is significant uncertainty as to whether sufficient future profits will be available in order to utilise these losses.
A reconciliation of the tax charge for the year to the standard rate of corporation tax for the Isle of Man of 0% (2022: 0%) is shown below.

The Directors confirm that there are no material changes in the valuation of investments as of 30 June 2023.
The valuations of the other Group properties at 31 December 2022 were based on the most recent independent valuation received for each property. The valuations were performed by external accredited independent valuers with recognised professional qualifications and with recent experience in the location and category of the investment properties being valued.
The fair value of completed investment property has been determined on a market value basis in accordance with the RICS "Red Book". In arriving at their estimates of market values, the valuers have used their market knowledge and professional judgement, historical transactional comparable and discounted cash flow forecasts. The highest and best use of the investment properties is not considered to be different from its current use.
The cost of the investment properties comprises their purchase price and directly attributable expenditure. Directly attributable expenditure includes professional fees for legal services and stamp duty land tax.
