    This standard provides guidance on accounting for property, plant, and equipment. It defines property, plant, and equipment as tangible items that are used for more than one period in production, supply of goods/services, or administration. It must be probable that future economic benefits will flow from the asset and its cost can be reliably measured. After initial recognition at cost, assets can be carried using either the cost model or revaluation model and are depreciated over their useful lives unless impaired. Gains or losses from revaluations or disposals are recognized accordingly.

    Technical Summary

    This extract has been prepared by IASC Foundation staff and has not been approved by the IASB.
    For the requirements reference must be made to International Financial Reporting Standards.

    IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment


    The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment for property,
    plant and equipment so that users of the financial statements can discern information
    about an entity’s investment in its property, plant and equipment and the changes in
    such investment. The principal issues in accounting for property, plant and equipment
    are the recognition of the assets, the determination of their carrying amounts and the
    depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognised in relation to them.

    Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:


    (a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to
    others, or for administrative purposes; and
    (b) are expected to be used during more than one period.

    The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognised as an asset if,
    and only if:
    (a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
    the entity; and
    (b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

    Measurement at recognition: An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies


    for recognition as an asset shall be measured at its cost. The cost of an item of
    property, plant and equipment is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date.
    If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference between the cash
    price equivalent and the total payment is recognised as interest over the period of
    credit unless such interest is recognised in the carrying amount of the item in
    accordance with IAS 23.

    The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:


    (a) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes,
    after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
    (b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition
    necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
    (c) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring
    the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either
    when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a
    particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.

    Measurement after recognition: An entity shall choose either the cost model or the
    revaluation model as its accounting policy and shall apply that policy to an entire
    class of property, plant and equipment.

    Cost model: After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment
    shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
    impairment losses.
    Revaluation model: After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and
    equipment whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued
    amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent
    accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
    Revaluations shall be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying
    amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair
    value at the end of the reporting period.

    If an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase


    shall be recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under
    the heading of revaluation surplus. However, the increase shall be recognised in profit
    or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously
    recognised in profit or loss. If an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a
    revaluation, the decrease shall be recognised in profit or loss. However, the decrease
    shall be recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance
    existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset.

    Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its
    useful life. Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for
    cost, less its residual value. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment
    with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be
    depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognised in
    profit or loss unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.
    The depreciation method used shall reflect the pattern in which the asset’s future
    economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the entity.

    The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that an entity would currently
    obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the
    asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

    To determine whether an item of property, plant and equipment is impaired, an entity


    applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

    The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be


    derecognised:
    (a) on disposal; or
    (b) when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
