NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Axis Global Freight Services Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its bank facilities. The current economic conditions continue to create uncertainty over (a) the level of demand for the company's services; and (b) the availability of bank finance for the foreseeable future. The company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future; taken to be 12 months from signing the annual accounts. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Axis Global Freight Services Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Turnover
Turnover comprises the rendering of services in the ordinary course of the company's activity. Turnover is presented net of value-added tax. Services comprise freight forwarding and related activities. The company recognises turnover when the amount of revenue and related costs can be reliably measured, it is probable that the collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Tangible fixed assets, excluding freehold land and buildings, are initially measured at historic cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring an asset into its intended working condition are included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its residual value (its scrap or realistic value at the end of its economic life) on a systematic basis over its useful economic life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:.

Long leasehold-10%straight line
Improvements to property-25%reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings-25%reducing balance
Plant and machinery-25%reducing balance
Computer equipment-25%reducing balance


Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost, less any impairment.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
a) Debtors
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

b) Creditors
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

c) Cash at bank
Cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Cash and bank balances are represented by cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a change attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
-the recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
-any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Both current and deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs
The company makes contributes into the personal retirement schemes of certain staff. Contributions by the company and staff are determined by mutual agreement.

The company must put certain staff into a pension scheme and contribute towards it. This is called automatic enrolment. To comply with automatic enrolment laws, the company signed a participation agreement with a pension provider by which staff become members of an independently administered pension plan. The company and staff make contributions as specified in the plan.

In the aforementioned schemes, staff contract directly with the pension company, and assets of those schemes are held separately from those of the company. The company acts as agent in collecting and paying over staff pension contributions. Once the contributions have been paid, the company as employer has no further obligations.

The company's contributions are charged to the profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
