Company information
Top Hat Tour Limited (Formerly Quiz 2023 Limited) is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Ashcombe Court, Woolsack Way, Godalming, Surrey, GU7 1LQ.
1.1
Reporting period
Top Hat Tour Limited has presented a period longer than one year to ensure the accounts captured the company's full production run, which continued beyond a one year period. The comparative amounts presented in the financial statements (including the related notes) are not entirely comparable.
1.2
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The company’s immediate parent is Jonathan Church Theatre Productions Limited, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales.
However, the directors of Jonathan Church Theatre Productions Limited do not consider that the company controls Top Hat Tour Limited. The accounts for the smallest group for which consolidated accounts are prepared and which include Jonathan Church Theatre Productions Limited include the following statement, “Top Hat Tour Limited is not considered to be an entity over which any controls or significant influence is exerted by the group”.
The directors of Top Hat Tour Limited concur with that assessment and do not consider that there is a controlling party. Therefore, the directors consider it appropriate to take advantage of such exemptions as are available to a company which is not a subsidiary company.
1.3
Revenue
Revenue comprises sales of goods or services provided to customers net of value added tax and other sales taxes, less an appropriate deduction for actual and expected returns and discounts. Revenue is recognised when performance obligations are satisfied and the control of goods or services is transferred to the buyer. Where the performance obligation is satisfied over time, revenue is recognised in accordance with its progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.
The nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms of the company's major sources of revenue are as follows:
Revenue from contracts for the provision of theatre production services is recognised by reference to the period in which the services were provided.
1.4
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.5
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes 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 reporting end date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date 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 calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
1.6
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Payments to defined contribution pension schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
