	Turnover policy
	Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes.

The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

	Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments.

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
