IASB issues IFRIC Interpretation 21: Levies
IASB – 05/20/2013
IFRIC 21 addresses when an entity should recognize a liability to pay a government levy (other than income taxes). IFRIC 21 is an interpretation of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (known as an obligating event). The Interpretation clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. The Interpretation includes guidance illustrating how it should be applied.
