1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Vantage Tax Fee Protection (Global) Limited is a limited company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. Its registered office address is Windsor House, Troon Way Business Centre, Humberstone Lane, |
Leicester, LE4 9HA and the registered number is 09353371. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
The company has continued to receive financial support from companies related by virtue of common control |
through the use of current accounts. |
With this information, and based on a review of forecast trading 12 months from the signing of the financial |
statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
Turnover |
The company acts as an agent. Turnover represents commission receivable for services, net of VAT and IPT. Turnover is principally derived from two distinct income streams; being the sale of insurance policies, where the commission is credited to turnover on the inception of the policy, and consultancy fees, where income is credited to turnover as the fees are incurred |
Financial instruments |
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial |
assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. |
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 objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an |
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |

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 currency translation |
The company's functional and presentational currency is GBP. |
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 the profit and loss account except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges. |
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the profit and loss account within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the profit and loss account within 'other operating income'. |
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. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents 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. |
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. |

Insurance broking debtors, creditors and cash balances |
The company acts as an agent in broking the insurable risks of its clients and, generally, is not liable as a principal for premiums due to underwriters or for claims payable to clients. Notwithstanding the company's legal relationship with clients and underwriters and since in practice premium and claim monies are usually accounted for by insurance intermediaries, it has followed generally accepted accounting practices by showing cash, debtors and creditors relating to insurance business as assets and liabilities of the company itself. |
Included in cash and cash equivalents is client money held by the company in IBA bank accounts which are under risk transfer agreements with the ultimate underwriters. |
