NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY CRICKET CLUB 2023 ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 46 2.8 Finance costs Finance costs are charged to profit or loss 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. 2.9 Current and deferred taxation Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable surplus (or deficit) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions.Timing differences are differences between taxable surplus and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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 surpluses. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. 2.10 Income Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows: – Amounts in relation to Cricketing and Commercial activities which represents sales to members and the public at sales value less Value AddedTax; – Amounts in relation to Grants are amortised in accordance with grant terms; – Amounts in relation to Donations and Other Sources including distribution from the England andWales Cricket Board (ECB) are recognised when due; – All other amounts are accounted for as received, unless, in the case of Donations and Legacies, they are designated for specific purposes.
