Financial instruments
|
|
|
|
The company only enters into basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like cash and bank balances, trade debtors and creditors, bank overdrafts, finance leases and hire purchase contracts and loans to or from related parties. A financial asset or financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss immediately. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in the profit and loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised

Taxation
|
|
|
|
Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred taxation. Tax is recognised in the Profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deferred taxation
|
|
|
|
Deferred tax is recognised 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 recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probably that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
