FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in Other Comprehensive Income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'administrative expenses'.
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Commissions
Commissions are recognised in line with revenue generated by the Company, based on a fixed percentage of the sales value.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge 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.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
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.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the investment is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
|
|
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are 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.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

COMMITMENTS UNDER OPERATING LEASES
|
|
The Company had no commitments under non-cancellable operating leases at the balance sheet date.
|
During the year the directors reviewed the revenue recognition policy of the Company and have identified that that the Company should be recognising revenue as an ‘agent’ rather than a ‘principal’, as it does not have exposure to the significant risks and rewards associated with the sale of air travel tickets and a fixed fee per transaction is earned by the Company. The comparatives have been restated for this error, with the effect as follows:
- Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2022 has decreased by £2,390,396
- Cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2022 has decreased by £2,390,396
This has no impact on opening reserves at 1 January 2022 or closing reserves at 31 December 2022.
