12 May 2012 1. Treatment of government grant in relation to fixed aseets can be done in 2 ways:

(a) Reduce the grant from the cost of the asset and depreciation shall be charged on the balance amount.

(b) Treat the grant as deferred grant. In this case the asset will be recorded at its original cost. The grant will be credited to P&L A/c over the life of the asset. Depreciation will be charged on the original cost of the asset.

2. Treatment of Revenue Grant

Such grants should either be shown separately under 'other income’ or deducted in reporting the related expense.
