Company information

Cartakeback.com Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Bankfield House, Bankfield Mill, Regent Road, Liverpool, United Kingdom, L20 8RQ.

1.1
Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Revenue

Revenue is primarily derived from three sources:

 

1. Referral fees from the CTB Collect scheme. The fees are earned when one of our ATF customers confirms that they have taken delivery of a scrap vehicle referred to them via our website.

 

2. Service fees from contracted authorized treatment facilities (ATFs) in connection with the supply of compliance services to them for the vehicles that they have processed. The service fee is generated at the point at which the ATF loads the vehicle data onto the Financial and Data System (FADS).

 

3. Contributions from motor vehicle manufacturers recognized on an annual basis under long term contractual arrangements.

1.3
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

3 years straight line
1.4
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the Statement of income and retained earnings.

 

Tangible and intangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment if there is an indication that an impairment has occurred. Where there is evidence of impairment, fixed assets are written down to their recoverable amount. Any such write-down is charged to operating profit.

1.5
Fixed asset investments

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less impairment.

1.6
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.

1.7
Financial instruments

The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

 

Debtors, creditors, and intercompany loans (being repayable on demand) are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid.

1.8
Taxation

Taxation for the Year comprises current and deferred tax, recognized in the Income Statement.

 

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax

Current tax is recognized at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized 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 recognized in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

 

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

1.9

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transition price, less any impairment. Loans are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The areas in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include:

 

Provision for bad debts resultant from management review of the debtors ledger identifying specific balances which are deemed unlikely to be recovered due to their understanding of the current status with the customer.

 

Fixed asset investments are valued at cost less impairment. The valuation is considered annually by management in light of the performance of the companies past and present which the valuation represents along with expected future performance of those companies based on management experience and knowledge.

 

The useful economic lives and residual values of fixed assets are assessed by management on a timely basis.
