| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of material timing differences between amounts recognised in the financial statements and amounts recognised for tax purposes.
The principal timing differences arise from:
the revaluation of investment property to fair value, where gains are recognised in profit or loss but are not taxable until the asset is disposed of; and
differences between the net book value of tangible fixed assets and their tax written down value, arising where capital allowances, including the Annual Investment Allowance, have been claimed in advance of accounting depreciation.
Deferred tax relating to investment property has been measured using the tax rate applicable to the disposal of the asset. Deferred tax relating to tangible fixed assets has been measured using the corporation tax rate expected to apply when the timing differences reverse.
The directors consider it probable that the deferred tax liability will crystallise based on the expected recovery of the underlying assets.
At the balance sheet date, the deferred tax provision of £53,137 comprises:
Deferred tax on investment property revaluation: £ £51,659
Deferred tax on capital allowances timing differences: £1,479. |
