2.2.28 | Government grants |
Government Grants are recognized against the expenses for which the resources were used. Government grants advanced for investments in research and development are registered as deferred income and recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the resources are invested and the contractual milestones are met, as a reduction of research expenses.
Government grants for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are recognized as a credit in liabilities until the milestones defined by the granting entity are reached. Once the milestones are completed, the grant is recognized as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is recognized in profit and loss as a reduction in the depreciation expense of the asset subsidized in proportion with recognition of the expense.
