Forums › Ask CIMA Tutor Forums › Ask CIMA F2 Tutor Forums › How are customer discounts treated regarding a financing component per IFRS 15?
IFRS 15 states that if the timing of payments provides the business with a financing benefit then the amount needs to be adjusted for the time value of money.
Say a customer purchases a £10,000 service, putting down a 10% deposit 1 year in advance, would the company providing the service record the contract liability at present value and then increase it at year-end to account for the time value of money?
And does this mean that the total revenue recognised when the service is provided is greater than the £10,000 selling price?
Hi,
I doubt that you’d see something so complicated as a deposit in the exam, but yes it would be discounted (9,091). We would then show interest income at initial recognition (909).
Thanks
