Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Revenue
Revenue represents rental income receivable from investment properties. Rental income is recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, in accordance with the substance of the lease agreements.
Rental income is recognised when it is earned, regardless of the timing of receipt of cash. Any rent-free periods or lease incentives granted are spread over the lease term and reflected in revenue accordingly.
Service charge income recovered from tenants is recognised as revenue to the extent that the related costs are incurred and the amounts are recoverable from tenants.
Revenue is stated net of value added tax and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
