CapitaLand Ascott Trust - Annual Report 2024

Notes to the Financial Statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2024 3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 3.4 Provision A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. 3.5 Revenue Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Management fee income and trustee fee income Management fee income and trustee fee income are recognised in profit or loss as and when services are rendered. (ii) Acquisition and divestment fee income Acquisition and divestment fee income is recognised in profit or loss as and when services are rendered. 3.6 Other income Distribution income Distribution income is recognised in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established. 3.7 Finance cost Finance costs mainly comprise interest expense. Interest expense is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. 3.8 Tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 294 CapitaLand Ascott Trust
