118 MEGACHEM LIMITED Notes to The Financial Statements 31 December 2024 2. Material accounting policy information and other explanatory information (cont’d) 2B. Judgements and sources of estimation uncertainties (cont’d) Estimating income tax amounts: The tax liabilities and assets tax are recognised based on an estimation of the likely taxes due, which requires significant judgement as to the ultimate tax determination of certain items. Where the actual amount arising from these issues differs from these estimates, such differences will have an impact on income tax and deferred tax amounts in the period when such determination is made. In addition, management judgement is required in determining the amount of current and deferred tax recognised and the extent to which amounts should or can be recognised. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses if it is probable that the entity will earn sufficient taxable profit in future periods to benefit from a reduction in tax payments. This involves the management making assumptions within its overall tax planning activities and periodically reassessing them in order to reflect changed circumstances as well as tax regulations. As a result, due to their inherent nature assessments of likelihood are judgemental and not susceptible to precise determination. The income tax amounts are disclosed in Note 8 on income tax. Measurement of impairment of subsidiaries: Where an investee is in net equity deficit and/or has suffered losses, a test is made whether the investment in the investee has suffered any impairment. This measurement requires significant judgement. An estimate is made of the future profitability of the investee, and the financial health of and near-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, and operational and financing cash flow. It is impracticable to disclose the extent of the possible effects. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next reporting year that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset. The carrying amount of the specific investees at the end of the reporting year affected by the assumption is $1,672,822 (2023: $620,019). Assessment of expected credit loss allowance on trade receivables: The assessment of the expected credit losses (“ECL”) requires a degree of estimation and judgement. In measuring the expected credit losses, management considers all reasonable and supportable information such as the reporting entity’s past experience at collecting receipts, any increase in the number of delayed receipts in the portfolio past the average credit period, and forward-looking information such as forecasts of future economic conditions. The carrying amounts might change materially within the next reporting year but these changes may not arise from assumptions or other sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting year. The carrying amount is disclosed in Note 18 on trade and other receivables. Measuring the fair value of unquoted equity shares measured at FVTOCI: The Group’s unquoted equity shares measured at FVTOCI are not based on quoted prices in active markets, and therefore there is material measurement uncertainty involved in this measurement of fair value. Management has determined it is necessary to use a model to value these instruments based on their structure and terms and to make any adjustments where necessary to the output of the model to reflect the assumptions that marketplace participants would use in similar circumstances. The measurement methods used and carrying amounts are disclosed in Note 20 on financial assets at FVTOCI. 3. Related party relationships and transactions 3A.
