Taunton Land Ltd (Registered number: 01281309)

Notes to the Abbreviated Accounts
for the Year Ended 30 April 2015

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the
revaluation of certain assets and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller
Entities (effective April 2008).

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
Exemption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the company
qualifies as a small company.

Turnover
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents rent and services due, exclusive of Value
Added Tax.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance

An amount equal to the excess of the annual depreciation charge on revalued assets over the notional
historical cost depreciation charge on those assets is transferred annually from the revaluation reserve
to the profit and loss reserve.

Investment property
In accordance with SSAP 19, freehold investment properties are revalued annually and the surplus or
deficit on revaluation is transferred to the revaluation reserve. No depreciation is charged on these
properties and, although this accounting policy represents a departure from the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006, it is considered necessary in order to give a true and fair view.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at
the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occured at that date that will result in an
obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax, with the following exceptions:

- Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and similar fair value adjustments) of
fixed assets, and gains on disposal of fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets,
only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to dispose of the assets
concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the basis of all available evidence at the balance
sheet date, it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets
and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold.

- Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely
than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing
differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.balance sheet date.

Pension costs
The company operates a defined benefit scheme for the directors. Pensions are already in payment
from the scheme and since it is sufficiently funded, no costs are charged in these accounts.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual
arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument
is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its
liabilities.
