The provision for deferred tax is made up as follows:
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the reporting date, where it is probable that the asset will be recovered against future taxable profits.
A deferred tax asset of £27 has been recognised in relation to other temporary differences. This asset represents the estimated future tax benefit arising from amounts that are expected to be recoverable against future taxable profits.
The deferred tax asset has been measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The movement in the deferred tax asset during the year is as follows:
Deferred tax asset at beginning of year £0
Credit/(charge) to profit and loss account (£27)
Deferred tax asset at end of year (£27)
The deferred tax asset has been recognised on the basis that the company expects sufficient future taxable profits to be available against which the underlying temporary differences can be utilised.
