(Reuters) - Australian engineering firm WorleyParsons Ltd (AX:WOR) expects to take an additional charge of about A$20 million ($15 million) to the group's income tax expense on account of legislation passed by the United States, the company said on Tuesday.
The figure is in addition to a charge of A$58.2 million announced in December and takes to A$78.2 million the total charge for fiscal year 2018, it said in a statement.
The charge will be excluded from the underlying earnings of the group, WorleyParsons added.
