NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1a. Basis of Accounting and general information
W. S. Hunt's Transport Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England within the United Kingdom, registration number 00466642. The registered office is 71 Brox Road, Ottershaw, Surrey KT16 0LZ.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with FRS102 section 1A - The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
1b. Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of tangible assets over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant And Machineryreducing balance15%
Commercial Vehiclesreducing balance25%
Fixtures And Fittingsreducing balance10%
Equipmentstraight line20%/33 1/3%
Motor Carsreducing balance25%
1c. Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price. Costs are based on the method most appropriate to the type of inventory class, but usually on a first-in, first-out basis. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow - moving stock where appropriate. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price.
1d. Pension Costs
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the pension provider in respect of the year.
1e. Taxation
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit or (loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profits. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences.
1f. Turnover and income recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents goods and services supplied by the company in the United Kingdom net of value added tax and trade discounts. Revenue is recognised when title is passed to the customer which is generally when goods and services are delivered to the customer.
W. S. Hunt's Transport Limited
1g. Leases
Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. The related lease obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
