204 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2023 29. DEFERRED TAX (continued) At 31 December 2023, no deferred tax (2022: nil) has been recognised for withholding taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings that are subject to withholding taxes of the Group’s subsidiaries established in China and the Group’s investments in joint ventures. In the opinion of the directors, it is not probable that these subsidiaries and investments in joint ventures will distribute such earnings in the foreseeable future. The aggregate amounts of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries in China for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised totalled approximately US$48,768,000 at 31 December 2023 (2022: US$39,418,000). 30.
