2 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(r) Taxation (Continued)
When investment properties and investment properties under
development are carried at their fair value in accordance with the
accounting policy set out in note 2(f)(1), the amount of deferred tax
recognized is measured using the tax rates that would apply on sale of
those assets at their carrying value at the end of the reporting period
unless the property is depreciable and is held within a business model
whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits
embodied in the property over time, rather than through sale. In all other
cases, the amount of deferred tax recognized is measured based on
the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount
of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of
each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related
tax benefit to be utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that
it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are
recognized when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognized.
(s) Translation of foreign currencies
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group
are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic
substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the
entity (“functional currency”). The financial statements of the Group are
presented in Hong Kong dollars.
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the
foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period.
Exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.
