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.
Harrison Farms Limited is a private limited company, limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales with registered number 03042735. The address of the registered office is Estate Office, Pallinghurst Farm, Rudgwick, Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 3BQ.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and any deferred tax.
The current tax charge is based on the 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 balance sheet date.
Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.
