2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents amounts receivable from the actual sale of vehicles or the provision of services. |
Bonuses are received quarterly in accordance with the company achieving targets set by the franchises and these bonuses are recognised on an accruals basis once the company is entitled to them. |
The company operates a number of departmental cost centres for internal accounting and management reporting purposes. For value added tax and annual accounting purposes, inter-departmental transactions are ignored and turnover and cost of sales are quoted net of any such internal transactions. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Improvements to property | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Computer equipment | - |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
New vehicles are held on consignment. These have been accounted for as assets of the company and the corresponding liabilities are included within trade creditors. |
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. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
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. |
Going concern |
These accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors believe that the company has sufficient funds for the foreseeable future, being 12 months from the date of signature of the financial statements, to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. |
Financial instruments |
Financial liabilities and equity investments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity investment is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. |
