Accounting Policy |
|||||||
Taxation Except for the competitive neutrality arrangements outlined below, the Mint is exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and Goods and Services Tax (GST). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except: - where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and - for receivables and payables. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included in other receivables or other payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows and commitments are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash flows. |
|||||||
Competitive Neutrality The Mint sells collector coins and minted non-coin products on a for-profit basis. Under Competitive Neutrality arrangements, the Mint is required to make Australian Income Tax and ACT Payroll Tax Equivalent payments to the Government, in addition to payments for FBT and GST. Notional interest calculation for purposes of competitive neutrality is based on the current 10-year market bond rate. The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the company tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and to unused tax losses. |
|||||||
Accounting Judgements and Estimates |
|||||||
Recovery of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Mint considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and unused tax losses. |
