Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
1. STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the net income for the year of the company for that period. In preparing those statements, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and
-
explained in the financial statements;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Thaxted Festival Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102 and the Charities Act 2011. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Income
Income is recognized when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognized when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the funds have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a specified service is treated as deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Donations received under gift aid are shown inclusive of the corresponding amount of tax recoverable. Donations and sponsorship receipts associated with a particular event, season or class of expenditure are carried forward as deferred revenue until that event or expenditure occurs.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally on notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognized once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Raising funds
-
Charitable activities

Expenditure
-
Governance costs

Support costs
Raising funds
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of fundraising events and their associated support costs.
Charitable activities
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of the festival and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Tangible fixed assets
Assets costing in excess of £500 are capitalized and depreciated.
Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost of all fixed assets by equal annual instalments over their estimated lives. The rates and periods applicable are:
| Freehold property | 50 years | 2% |
|---|---|---|
| Catering Equipment | 10 years | 10% |
| Stage and office equipment, seating & trailer | 7 years | 15% |
| Seat cushions, computer & lighting equipment | 4 years | 25% |
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
The Festival's VAT status was changed during 2007 and the Festival now claims cultural exemption on ticket sales. Not all income is exempt and the Festival's VAT status is partial exemption. As the level of qualifying income is less than the registration level, the Festival de-registered for VAT on 1st May 2007. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was occurred.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the Management Board have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes/areas of the charity's work or for specific projects undertaken by the charity.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
