NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the Period 1 April 2024 to 31 December 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Gravitas Worldwide Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£) which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.

Turnover
The company's turnover derives from the provision of services relating to freight forwarding and other ancillary services. Turnover is recognised, excluding value added tax and duty, based on the terms and the commercial rates agreed in the shipping service agreement with the customer and is recognised as the service is completed.

The company is considered to be acting as a principal in its commercial transactions because it has primary responsibility for providing the services to the customer; it has all inventory risk throughout the transaction; it can determine prices throughout the transaction for a range of services and it bears the credit risk for the debt due form the customer.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery etc - 25% on reducing balance

The company does not depreciate its freehold building on the grounds that it is maintained in a good state of repair and that the estimated residual value of the buildings will not be materially different from the valuation at the balance sheet date in 2024. As a result, the corresponding depreciation would not be material and therefore is not charged in the profit and loss account.

Taxation
Taxation for the period 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.

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 period 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.

Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

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.

Fixed asset investments
The company recognises its listed investments as basic financial instruments in accordance with Section 11 of FRS 102. The investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised within the profit and loss account for the year.
