| Taxation |
| The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. |
| Current tax |
| The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as |
| reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date. |
| Employee benefits |
| The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets. |
| The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. |
| Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably |
| committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. |
