It is generally considered appropriate that accounting for government
grant should be based on the nature of the relevant grant. Grants which have
the characteristics similar to those of promoters’ contribution should be treated
as part of shareholders’ funds. Income approach may be more appropriate
in the case of other grants. If tax on profit has to be lowered then income approach be followed.
