Director's responsibilities:
The financial statements of Ledbury Estates Limited (registered number:
|
A J R Heaton
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Ledbury Estates Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is 10 Eccleston Mews, London, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, and in accordance with ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council, including Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102), and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings.
The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Land and buildings | not depreciated |
| Plant and machinery |
|
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments are measured at transaction price.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash inhand and at bank.
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Other investments are also measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
