Based on his current assessment of the situation, the director considers it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements
|
The
Company
, and the
Group

section 383 of the Companies Act 2006
and the parent and
Group

Turnover comprises amounts receivable for taxi cab hire and advertising revenue during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
Turnover is recognised in the period to which it relates.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

|
|
|
|
|
|
15% - 18% reducing balance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.
Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid

Accounting policies (continued)
Assets obtained under hire purchase contract and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and depreciated in the same manner as other tangible fixed assets. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods.
The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of Financial Position date, except that:
- The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
- Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Events after the year end
|
The worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact upon the general economic environment.
In view of the above event, the Company has reviewed its cash flow forecasts and considered the impact on going concern, concluding that the going concern basis remains an appropriate basis of preparation for these financial statements given the likely cash flow impact of operations 12 months from the date of signing this report. Please refer to note 2.2 for further detail on the Company’s going concern basis of preparation.
COVID-19 pandemic is considered to be a non-adjusting event and therefore have not been taken into account in preparing the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2019.
