EXCEL FORCE MSC BERHAD - ANNUAL REPORT 2019 76 notes to the financial statements 31 december 2019 (cont’d) 3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d) (o) Revenue recognition (Cont’d) (iii) Rental income Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The aggregate costs of incentives provided to lessees are recognised as a reduction of rental income over the lease term on a straight-line basis. (p) Income taxes Tax expense in profit or loss comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the financial year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years. Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statements of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction which is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. (q) Contract liabilities Contract liabilities represent the Group’s and the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Group and the Company have received the consideration or has billed to the customer. The contract liabilities of the Group and the Company comprise of amount due to customers on contracts which is the excess of billings to-date over the cumulative revenue earned and deferred revenue where the Group and the Company have billed or has collected the payment before the goods are delivered or services are provided to the customers.

The chief operating decision-makers are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and make overall strategic decisions.
