5. INTEREST PAYABLE AND SIMILAR CHARGES
During the year all interest paid on borrowings relating to ongoing developments was capitalised as part of inventory £10,102 (2019: £183,217) 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 £118,177 (2019: £145,434) has been accounted for in the profit & loss within cost of sales together with an impairment provision of £nil (2019: £126,661) on account of the reduction of likely selling prices being achieved since the year end.
6. TAXATION
Deferred tax
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 2020, the Group had cumulative tax losses of £4,381,991 (2019: £3,364,609) that are available to offset against future taxable profits.
Rental income has now become part of the principal acitivity of the Group, and is therefore shown in revenue with a subsequent restatement of the prior year.
