Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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 that have been enacted or |
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
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 |
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 recognised 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. |
Pensions |
The company operated a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged in |
the profit and loss account. |
Foreign currencies |
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets |
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange at the balance |
sheet date. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit or loss. |
