NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Chris Waite Car Sales Limited is a |
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the statement of financial position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the period. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. |
Recoverability of debtors |
Estimation is involved in the assessment of the recoverability of debtors and the calculation of the associated bad debt provision. Factors such as the age of the debt, prior experience and recoverability statistics are included in management's assessment. |
Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful economic lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. Management regularly reviews the assets' useful economic lives. Changes in assets' useful economic lives can have a significant impact on depreciation for the period. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
Provision for impairments |
Tangible fixed assets are reviewed for signs of impairment each year and written down accordingly. All tangible fixed assets are reviewed by management in conjunction with market data and other relevant information. Changes in any of the factors considered for impairments can affect the value reported in the financial statements. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Goodwill |
This relates to an asset acquired in 1997. This has now been fully written off. |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold Property - 1% or 2% straight line |
Fixtures & Fittings - 15% reducing balance |
Motor Vehicles - 25% on reducing balance |
Equipment - 15% on reducing balance |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Financial instruments |
The company enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans from banks. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and account receivables and payables, are initially measured at the transaction price (adjusted for transaction cost) and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, such as a trade debtor or creditor on extended credit terms, initial measurement is at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest. Subsequent measurement is at amortised cost. |
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If such evidence is identified, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. If the financial instrument has a variable interest rate the currently effective rate under the contract is used. |
A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled or, substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred to another party or when despite having retained some, but not substantially all, risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party and the other party has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer. In this case, the company derecognises the asset and recognises separately any rights and obligations retained or created in the transfer. A financial liability is derecognised when the contract that gives rise to it is settled, sold, cancelled, or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such as an exchange or modification, this is treated as a derecognition of the original liability, such that the difference in the respective carrying amounts together with any costs or fees incurred are recognised in profit or loss. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, and deposits held at call with banks. |
Going concern |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that the Directors consider that the Company has sufficient cash resources to enable the Company to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due. |
Debtors |
Debtors include trade debtors and certain other financial instruments, prepayments and deferred tax assets.. Prepayments are payments made for goods or services that will be received in the future. |
Creditors |
Creditors include trade creditors and certain other short and long-term financial instruments. |
