Taxation
|
|
|
|
Taxation for the year comprises current taxation. Tax is recognised in the Profit and loss account,
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Current 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.

Government grants
|
|
|
|
Government/council grants received in period of £155,522 (shown as 'Other operating income' in
accounts).
Council grants (for water system) £6,833
Forestry grants £148,689
Grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised
until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them
and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model.
Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis
over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to
compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for
the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are
recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life
of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income
and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.
Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related
conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or
receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the
recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met.
Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a
liability.

Critical accounting judgements and estimates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually
reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances
