NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.6

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting 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. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.


 
2.7

 Valuation of investments

Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each reporting date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period.

 
2.8

Associates and joint ventures

Associates and Joint Ventures are held at cost less impairment.

 
2.9

 Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

 
2.10

 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.

 
2.11

 Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 
2.12

 Financial instruments

The company enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as other debtors and other creditors, loans with related parties and investments in non puttable ordinary shares.

The directors reconsidered the terms of the investment agreement with the company’s joint venture and interest on investments of £112,458 and related corporation tax charge of £20,772 have been reversed. 
The effect of these adjustments is to decrease the fixed assets investments by £112,458, decrease the corporation tax liability by £20,772 and reduce the profit for the year by £91,686. 
This adjustment reduced the retained earnings by £91,686.

Included in other creditors at the year end there is an amount payable of £168 (2023 - £168).
