Deferred taxation
|
|
|
|
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 been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date 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 probably
that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
|
|
|
|
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet.
Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held
under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is
the shorter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The
capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Retirement benefits
|
|
|
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's
pension scheme are charged to profit and loss in the period to which they relate.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plant and Equipment
The estimate and assumptions made to determine asset lives require judgements to be made as
regards useful lives and residual values. The useful lives and residual values of the company's financial
assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed annually for
appropriateness. The lives are based on management experience with similar assets. Depreciation
rates applied are outlined later in the notes.

Scaffolding expenditure
Due to the nature of the company's trade, and to the extent that scaffolding plays such a key role in the
income generation of the company, the director has a policy in place to determine how scaffolding is
recognised between capital and revenue. This is done by considering factors such as business
expansion, new products, types of jobs, damaged or missing goods, and obselescence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Services - Income from scaffolding services provided is recognised when performed, such that risks
and rewards have been transferred. The timing of invoicing is job dependant , sometimes requiring
interim payment certificates, and other invoices on completion when the scaffolding has been removed
from the site.
