2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Revenue Recognition - The Club recognises revenue when control of a goods or service is transfer to a customer.

Revenue from food and beverage is recognised upon sale of the food and beverage items at the point in time.

Revenue from member activities are recognised when the services have been rendered over time.

Revenue from club services are recognised when the services have been rendered over time.

Revenue from membership dues is recognised on accrual basis over time.

Entrance fees are recognised when a member is elected into full membership at the point in time when funds received are retained in an account as fees received in advance from potential members.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis over time, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Retirement Benefit Costs - Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense when employees have rendered the services entitling them to the contributions. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes, such as the Singapore Central Provident Fund, are dealt with as payments to defined contributions plans where the Club’s obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.

Employee Leave Entitlement - Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

Income Tax - Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are not taxable or tax deductible. The Club’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
