Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in AASB 1058 - Income of Not-for-Profit Entities - December 2016.
21 Recognised volunteer services shall be measured at fair value.
22 On the initial recognition of volunteer services as an asset or an expense, an entity shall recognise any related amounts in accordance with paragraph 9 (such as contributions by owners or revenue) and the applicable Australian Accounting Standards. The entity shall recognise the excess of the fair value of the volunteer services over the recognised related amounts as income immediately in profit or loss.
23 The objective of the disclosure requirements is for an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects of volunteer services and other transactions where an entity acquires an asset for consideration that is significantly less than fair value principally to enable the entity to further its objectives on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity. Paragraphs 24–41 specify requirements relating to this objective.
24 An entity shall consider the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure objective and how much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements. An entity shall aggregate or disaggregate disclosures so that useful information is not obscured by either the inclusion of a large amount of insignificant detail or the aggregation of items that have substantially different characteristics.
25 An entity need not disclose information in accordance with this Standard if it has provided the information in accordance with another Standard.
26 An entity shall disclose income recognised during the period, disaggregated into categories that reflect how the nature and amount of income (and the resultant cash flows) are affected by economic factors. An entity considers disclosing separately the following categories of income:
(a) grants, bequests and donations of cash, other financial assets and goods;
(b) recognised volunteer services; and
(c) for government departments and other public sector entities, appropriation amounts recognised as income, by class of appropriation.
27 To assist users to make informed judgements about the contribution of volunteer services and inventories to the achievement of the entity’s objectives during the reporting period, and the entity’s dependence on such contributions for the achievement of its objectives in the future, an entity is encouraged to disclose qualitative information, by major class of transaction, about the nature of the entity’s dependence arising from:
(a) volunteer services it receives, including those not recognised; and
(b) inventories held but not recognised as assets during the period.
### Non-contractual income arising from statutory requirements
28 An entity shall disclose income arising from statutory requirements (such as taxes, rates and fines) recognised during the period, disaggregated into categories that reflect how the nature and amount of income (and the resultant cash flows) are affected by economic factors.
29 To meet the objective in paragraph 23, an entity shall consider disclosing information about assets and liabilities recognised at the reporting date in accordance with this Standard, including the amounts of:
(a) receivables that are not a financial asset as defined in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation (eg income tax receivable from a taxpayer), and:
(i) interest income recognised in relation to such receivables during the period; and
(ii) impairment losses recognised in relation to such receivables during the period; and
(b) financial liabilities relating to prepaid taxes or rates for which the taxable event has yet to occur, and the future period(s) to which those taxes or rates relate.
30 Other information that may be appropriate for an entity to disclose includes, for each class of taxation income that the entity cannot measure reliably during the period in which the taxable event occurs (see paragraphs B28–B31):
(a) information about the nature of the tax;
(b) the reason(s) why that income cannot be measured reliably; and
(c) when that uncertainty might be resolved.
### Transfers to enable an entity to acquire or construct a recognisable non-financial asset to be controlled by the entity
31 An entity shall disclose the opening and closing balances of financial assets arising from transfers to enable an entity to acquire or construct recognisable non-financial assets to be controlled by the entity and the associated liabilities arising from such transfers, if not otherwise separately presented or disclosed. An entity shall also disclose income recognised in the reporting period arising from the reduction of an associated liability.
32 An entity shall disclose information about its obligations under such transfers, including a description of when the entity typically satisfies its obligations (for example, as the asset is constructed, upon completion of construction or when the asset is acquired).
33 An entity shall disclose an explanation of when it expects to recognise as income any liability for unsatisfied obligations as at the end of the reporting period. An entity may disclose this information in either of the following ways:
(a) on a quantitative basis using the time bands that would be most appropriate for the duration of the remaining obligations; or
(b) through qualitative information.
34 An entity shall disclose the judgements, and changes in the judgements, made in applying this Standard that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of income arising from transfers to enable an entity to acquire or construct a recognisable non-financial asset to be controlled by the entity. In particular, an entity shall explain the judgements, and changes in the judgements, made in determining the timing of satisfaction of obligations (see paragraphs 35 and 36).
