Restatement of data for the first half of 2014 following application of IFRIC 21

10 July 2015 - 5:53 pm - Finances

Interpretation IFRIC 21 “Levies” sets out arrangements for recognising, on the liabilities side of the consolidated balance sheet, levies falling under the scope of IAS 37 “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets”. In particular, it clarifies when levies should be recognised, which is generally when the activity triggers payment, in accordance with the relevant legislation.

At VINCI Group level, the application of IFRIC 21 has mainly changed the times at which three French taxes, previously recognised pro rata temporis in each set of interim financial statements, are recognised: the taxe foncière (land tax), C3S (company social security levy) and the redevance domaniale (state fee for motorway concession-holders). The first two taxes are now recognised in full under liabilities (with a balancing entry in the income statement) on 1 January, while the state fee is now recognised in full on 1 July.

To enable comparison of the 2015 and 2014 periods, the data for the first half of 2014 has been restated to reflect the application of IFRIC 21. This results in a €42 million increase in Group operating income from ordinary activities (Ebit) for the first half of 2014 and a €25 million increase in consolidated net income.

The table below shows the differences between operating income from ordinary activities as published on 30 June 2014 and the restated figures.
