This discussion clarifies when to recognise revenue from Transferable Development Rights (TDR) and land received as compensation for public utility construction. The consensus is to book both TDR and land revenue upon receipt. Interest on TDR should be recognised on an accrual basis, while capital gains on land sales are recognised at the time of sale, ensuring accurate business profit evaluation.
