Annual Report 2022 123 ABOUT US LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Other Information Notes to the Financial Statements for the Financial Year Ended 31 March 2022 (Cont’d) 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) 4.17 INCOME TAXES (CONT’D) Current and deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax arising from a business combination is adjusted against goodwill or negative goodwill. Current tax assets and liabilities or deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity (or on different tax entities but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis) and the same taxation authority. (c) Sales Tax and Service Tax (“SST”) SST are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are either capitalised or recognised in profit or loss. The amount of SST charged arising from revenue and is payable to the authorities at the end of the reporting period is included in other payables. 4.18 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (a) Short-term Benefits Wages, salaries, paid annual leave and bonuses are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognised in profit or loss or included in the development expenditure, where appropriate, in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. (b) Defined Contribution Plans The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in profit or loss or included in the development expenditure, where appropriate, in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further liability in respect of the defined contribution plans. 4.19 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that the outflow is probable, it will then be recognised as a provision. 4.20 OPERATING SEGMENTS An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
