premiums to customers in return for product labels, box
tops, wrappers and coupons.

liability for the future distribution of the premium arises and
should be given accounting recognition.

Free Product, Discount and Rebate
 In a contract of sale of goods, an entity may offer customer
incentives such as free product coupons, discount coupons
and rebate coupons with the end in view of stimulating sales.
 Options to purchase additional goods provide the customer a
material right and therefore gives rise to a performance
obligation that the seller must satisfy.
 Ifthe options provide a material right to the customer, the
customer in effect pays the seller in advance for future
delivery of additional goods.
Free Product, Discount and Rebate
 The entity has two performance obligations in these
customer options, namely:
1. To deliver or transfer the goods or products sold.
2. To satisfy the customer options for coupons for free
product, discount and rebate.

 The allocated transaction price of the customer options shall


be deferred and recognized as income when options are
exercised or when the options expire.
Rebate Coupons
 Manufacturers sell their products to retailers who in turn sell
them to end-customers. End-customers may receive coupons
for discounts if they purchase the same product from the
retailers in the future.
 Sincethe retailers shall receive a lower consideration due to
the discount, manufacturers may reimburse them for such
discount.
 Ineffect, the manufacturer would recognize a refund liability
or rebate liability to the retailers. Such liability is reduced
when the manufacturer reimburses the retailers.
Gift Certificates
 Department stores may sell gift certificates or gift cards to
customers in exchange for future delivery of goods. The gift
certificates are usually non-refundable and therefore the
seller should consider that some customers might not
redeem such certificates.
 Under PFRS 15, the nonredemption of the gift certificates is
referred to as “breakage”.
 Theseller shall recognize revenue from breakage based on
the value of certificates redeemed in proportion to the
expected value of certificates to be redeemed.
Customer Loyalty Program
 Many entities use a customer loyalty program to build
brand loyalty, retain their valuable customers and of
course, increase sales volume.
 The customer loyalty program is generally designed to
reward customers for past purchases and to provide
them with incentives to make further purchases.
Customer Loyalty Program
 Ifa customer buys goods or services, the entity grants
the customer award credits often described as
"points".
 The entity can redeem the "points" by distributing to
the customer free or discounted goods or services.
 Customers may be required to accumulate a specified
minimum number of award credits or "points" before
they can be redeemed.
Measurement
 Anentity shall account for the award credits as a separate
component of the initial sale transaction.
 Inother words, the granting of award credits is effectively
accounted for as a future delivery of goods or services.
 IFRS 15, paragraph 74, provides that an entity shall allocate
the transaction price to each performance obligation
identified in a contract on a relative stand-alone selling price
basis.
Measurement
 Inother words, the fair value of the consideration received
with respect to the initial sale shall be allocated between
the award credits and the sale based on relative stand-alone
selling price.
 Thestand-alone selling price is the price at which an entity
would sell a promised good or service separately to a
customer.
Recognition
 The consideration allocated to the award credits is
initially recognized as deferred revenue and
subsequently recognized as revenue when the award credits
are redeemed.

 The amount of revenue recognized shall be based on the


number of award credits that have been redeemed relative
to the total number expected to be redeemed.
