    Sir,
    I’m being silly but can you please help as i am unable to get this in my head.

    What happens to revaluation reserve account for a specific asset when that specific asset is sold for IAS-16, IAS-40 and IFRS-5?

    I understand that any gains or loses upon disposal is recognized straight to P&L. But what happens to any build up of previous revaluation reserve, should this be transferred to Retained Earnings?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Any gains held in reserves get transferred to retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity. Please note that we do not use a revaluation reserve in IAS 40 as any gains are recognised through profit or loss.

    Thanks
