5. INTEREST PAYABLE AND SIMILAR CHARGES
During the year all interest paid on borrowings relating to ongoing developments was capitalised as part of inventory £183,217 (2018: £324,555) with the interest capitalised on properties sold in the year forming part of cost of sales and transferred to profit & loss accordingly.
For sites where the construction had been completed, the interest paid of £145,434 (2018: £18,727) has been accounted for in the profit & loss within cost of sales together with an impairment provision of £126,661 (2018: Nil) on account of the reduction of likely selling prices being achieved since the year end.
6. TAXATION
Deferred tax
The deferred tax liability recognised in 2018 of £291,045 to reflect timing differences on the future tax liability arising as a result of the uplift in the fair value of the options acquired as part of the Trafalgar Retirement + acquisition has been reverse due to the impairment review performed by management. (Note 19) (Note 8 of the Parent Company’s financial statement.)
No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of historical losses due to the uncertainty in future profits against which to offset these losses. As at the 31 March 2019, the group had cumulative tax losses of £3,364,609 (2018: £2,634,086) that are available to offset against future taxable profits.
