Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved:
Strategic Report
The company directors have opted to apply the exemptions allowed under Section 414B of the Companies Act 2006 to not prepare a Strategic Report.

Company information
TESLA (Europe) Limited 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.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 101 "Reduced Disclosure Framework":
• the requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures;
• the requirements of paragraphs 91 to 99 of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement;
• the requirements of the second sentence of paragraph 110 and paragraphs 113(a), 114, 115, 118, 119(a) to (c), 120 to 127 and 129 of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers;

• the requirements of paragraphs 10(d), 10)(f), 16, 38A, 38B, 38C, 38D, 40A, 40B, 40C, 40D and 111 of IAS 1

1.2
Going concern
The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through its cash reserves. The current economictrue conditions continue to create uncertainty, particularly over the level of demand for the company’s products. The company’s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the company should be able to operate within the level of its current cash reserves. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

1.3
Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for supplied services provided, stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes.
Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered and when it is probable that an economic benefit will flow to the entity and the revenue and costs can be reliably measured.
Deferred revenue
Deferred income represents payments received in advance for services that have not yet been rendered to the customer. This income is recognised as a liability on the statement of financial position upon receipt. It is subsequently recognised as revenue in the income statement in the period in which the related obligation is fulfilled, in accordance with the revenue recognition principle.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is generally presented under 'Other income' in the income statement, unless it arises in the course of the company's ordinary activities, in which case it is presented as part of operating revenue.
1.4
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. The group's policy is to only capitalise purchases above £5,000.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
RoU assets
Lease term
TESLA (EUROPE) LIMITED

The Company recognises a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of a lease. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, comprising:
• the initial lease liability,
• any initial direct costs,
• lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and
• restoration obligations.
ROU assets are subsequently depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term, and assessed for impairment when indicators exist.
The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. Lease liabilities are remeasured when lease terms change or when modifications occur.
The Company applies the exemptions for:
• short-term leases (lease term < 12 months), and
• leases of low-value assets.
Payments for these leases are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense.
As the Company has adopted FRS 101, certain disclosures required under IFRS 16 have been reduced.
Adoption of New Lease Standard (IFRS 16)
Effective 1st January 2024, the Company adopted IFRS 16 – Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for most leases previously classified as operating leases.
The Company applied the standard using the modified prospective approach and therefore did not restate comparative periods. The cumulative effect of initially applying the standard was recognized on 1st January 2024.
1.5
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.6
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 income statement 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.

- 10 -
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.7
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 inventories or non-current 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.
1.8
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.9
Foreign exchange
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the income statement. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within ‘Other (expenses)/income’.

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

During the year, the Company recognised a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability in respect of a new lease entered into for operational purposes. The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
At the year end, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset was £183,519, and the related lease liability was £183,153, of which £82,370 is due within one year and £100,783 is due after more than one year. Lease payments made during the year totalled £82,370.
The Company applies the practical expedients available under FRS 101 and has not recognised right-of-use assets or liabilities for short-term or low-value leases, with payments for these leases recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
