D1 REVENUE AND MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS
D1.1 Revenue
D1.1.1 Accounting policy

Revenue consists of:

  1. Rental and other lease income – governed by IFRS 16: Leases
  2. Recoveries – governed by IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers

Rental and other lease income

Rental and other lease income represents the amounts receivable for services provided, net of value added tax, and is measured at the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled (i.e. transaction price).

Rental and other lease income comprises contractual rental income, operating cost recoveries, income from marketing and promotions and parking income. Contractual rental income (including tenant parking income and contractual fixed operating cost recoveries) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Income from marketing, promotions and parking is recognised when the service is rendered.

Contingent rentals/turnover rentals (variable rentals based on the turnover achieved by a tenant) are included in revenue when the amounts can be reliably measured.

Recoveries

Recoveries income represents the transaction price (i.e. the amount of the consideration which the entity expects to receive) for services provided net of value added tax. The Group retains primary responsibility for the provision of the services, and considers itself the principal supplier of such services in this respect.

Recoveries are recognised on an accruals basis in line with the service being provided. Accordingly the Group maintains its recording of service charge income on a gross basis.

Performance obligations related to recovery income

a. When the entity typically satisfies its performance obligations   • Services are rendered during the month. Revenue is recognised at a point in time (the end of the month in which the service is rendered).
b. The significant payment terms   • Payment from tenants is due on the 1st of each month.
c. Variability of the consideration payable   • Utility recoveries are charged either at a flat rate per unit or at a variable rate per unit depending on time of use.
d. The nature of the goods or services that the entity has undertaken / agreed to transfer   • Services rendered include the provision of utilities, cleaning, security and marketing services for a calendar month.

D4 INTEREST
D4.1 Accounting policy
 
Interest income   Interest earned on cash invested at financial institutions is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. Interest earned on loans receivable is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method, other than loans which are credit impaired (stage 3 loans) where interest is only accrued on the net balance (i.e. the outstanding balance less credit impairments).
Interest expense   Interest expense is calculated on the effective interest rate method. Borrowing costs, except those capitalised to a qualifying asset, are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Capitalised interest expense   Interest costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset until such time as the asset is substantially ready for its intended use. Qualifying assets are those that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use.

The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is the actual borrowing costs incurred on funds borrowed in respect of the qualifying asset. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of borrowed funds pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use are complete.

D6 TAXATION
D6.1 Accounting policy
 

Normal and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the year.

The charge for normal taxation includes expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment for taxation payable or receivable in respect of prior years.

Normal taxation liabilities/(assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the taxation rates and taxation laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Hyprop is a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) in terms of the South African Income Tax Act (the Act) and in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of section 25BB of the Act, a qualifying distribution declared to Hyprop shareholders is deductible against Hyprop's taxable income. As a consequence of this deduction (which historically has exceeded the Company's taxable income) South African taxable income and income taxation is usually reduced to zero.
D6.2 Key judgements and estimations
 

Taxation

  

The Group is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for tax as there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.

A deferred taxation asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related taxation benefit will be realised.

The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax obligations based on estimates of the taxes that are likely to become due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred
tax provisions.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Group has not rebutted this presumption.
