Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes commission earned from the sale of properties and from the rendering of property management services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Commissions receivable
Commission from the sale of properties is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed contracts to purchase the property.
Management of properties
Turnover from the rendering of estate agency services is recognised on a monthly basis in arrears.
