Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Pentagon Vehicle Rentals 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 the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover
Turnover represents net motor vehicle and trailer hire receivables under operating lease terms and finance interest income under hire purchase and finance lease receivables, excluding value added tax. Fees receivable and services for the use of vehicles are accounted for in the year in which the services are provided.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is provided on all fixed assets to write off the cost less the estimated residual value in annual instalments over their estimated useful lives.

Vehicles are written off systematically on a straight line basis by reference to their estimated residual value at proposed date of disposal over a range of 2 to 8 years.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and the depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within 'administrative expenses' in the profit and loss account.

Related parties
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary undertaking of Pentagon Investments Limited. The company has taken advantage of the exemption contained within Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 and has therefore not disclosed transactions with entities which form part of the group, other than as normally disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments payable
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the Balance Sheet and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account on a basis which gives a constant periodic rate of interest, on the outstanding hire purchase liability. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Hire purchase and finance lease receivables
The net investment in assets held by third parties under hire purchase contracts and finance leases in which a residual interest is retained, is accounted for as a current asset within Debtors. Revenue is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the contract and is included within Turnover.

Deferred taxation
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable total profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only when it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of underlying timing differences and losses can be deducted.

Provision is made at current rates for taxation deferred in respect of all material timing differences.

Operating lease receivables
Where the company enters into a lease as lessor which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as an operating lease. The asset is recorded in the Balance Sheet as a tangible fixed asset and is depreciated over its estimated useful life or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Revenue is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the contract and is included within Turnover.
