Revenue is recognised to the extent that the company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales taxes or duty. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Income from investment properties
Rental income from investment properties leased out under an operating lease is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income over the life of the lease.
Service charge income is recognised as revenue in the period to which it relates.
Rendering of services
Turnover comprises income from property management services and is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and the service has been provided in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Revenue is recognised as the services are rendered, typically in line with contractual billing terms or when the client is invoiced for ongoing management service.
Rental income is recognised when the company obtains a right to receive payment in accordance with contractual terms, and when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the amount can be measured reliably.
