34. Accounting for subsidies and road lighting modernisation services

Accounting rules

Subsidies
The Group receives subsidies in the form of tangible assets and reimbursement of costs spent on tangible assets. Subsidies are recognised in the statement of financial position as deferred revenue if there is sufficient certainty that they will be received and that the Group will meet the relevant conditions. Subsidies received as reimbursement of costs incurred by the Group are systematically recognised as revenue in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the associated costs are incurred. Subsidies received as reimbursement of investment expenditures incurred by the Group are systematically recognised, proportionately to depreciation charges, as other operating revenue in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income throughout the asset’s period of use.
Recognising a subsidy in financial statements depends on the intended use of such financing, e.g.:
  • subsidies received and intended for the acquisition or manufacture of tangible assets are recognised in the statement of financial position as deferred revenue,
  • subsidies for purposes other than those described above are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as other operating revenue
