InterContinental Hotels Group PLC
Impact of US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Bill1
This announcement contains inside information.
InterContinental Hotels Group ("IHG") [LON:IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)]
notes the passage of the US Tax Cuts and Job Acts Bill
1("the bill")
yesterday.
Initial estimates are that, as a whole, the enacted bill will
reduce IHG's group effective tax rate by mid to high single digit
percentage points from 1 January 2018. In 2017, IHG's group
effective tax rate is still expected to be in the low
30s.
It is also expected that the measures outlined in the bill will
result in a significant, exceptional tax credit in the financial
year the bill is signed into law, which would be realised in cash
terms over a long period from 2018.
Any updates will be provided at IHG's 2017 Preliminary Results on
20 February 2018.
