Debtors |
Debtors are valued individually and there are made provision according to this valuation. |
Creditors |
Creditors are carried at payment or settlement amounts. Where the time value of money is material, creditors are carried at amortized cost. |
Taxation |
Current tax and deferred taxation, including UK corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred taxation is provided in full on an undiscounted basis, on all timing differences which result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in tax computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the financial statements. |
Deferred tax assets are recognised where it is considered more likely than not that future profits will be available for offset. |
