2 Accounting policies
Revenue recognition
Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services net of VAT and trade discounts.
The amount recorded as turnover in respect of long term contracts is ascertained by reference to the value of work carried out to date. Attributable profit is recognised as the difference between turnover and attributable costs to date, where the outcome of the contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty. Foreseeable losses on long term contracts are provided for in full once the expected loss has been ascertained with reasonable certainty.
Tangible assets
Tangible fixed assets held for the company’s own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Office Equipment: 15% on reducing balance
Motor Vehicles: 25% on reducing balance
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Leasing and hire purchase contracts
Assets, obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases, are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Foreign currencies
The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is also the functional currency of the company. Transactions in currencies, other than the functional currency of the company, are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date the transaction occurred.
Taxation
Taxation represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme, Gas Tapps Uk Ltd Pension Scheme, and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
