Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 end of the reporting period.
The directors have not provided for deferred tax as the rebased cost of the property as at 5 April 2015 is more than the current market value of the property. The directors have also not provided for a deferred tax asset because of uncertainity in current market conditions in the UK property market.
