(ii) Finance lease payments
Minimum lease payments under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance
expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment
is confirmed.
(q) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value when it is reasonably assured that H EIN EKEN will comply with the conditions attaching to them and
the grants will be received.
Government grants relating to P. P E are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are
intended to compensate.
(r) Interest income, interest expenses and other net finance income and expenses
Interest income and expenses are recognised as they accrue in profit or loss, using the effective interest method unless collectability is in doubt.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using
the effective interest method.
Other net finance income and expenses comprises dividend income, gains and losses on the disposal of available-for-sale investments, changes in the fair
value of investments designated at fair value through profit or loss and held for trading investments, changes in fair value of hedging instruments that are
recognised in profit or loss, unwinding of the discount on provisions, impairment losses recognised on investments and interest on the net defined benefit
obligation. Dividend income is recognised in the income statement on the date that HEINEKEN's right to receive payment is established, which in the case
of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis in the other net finance income and expenses.
(s) Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to
a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity, or in other comprehensive income.
(i) Current tax
Income tax expenses comprise corporate income tax due in countries of incorporation of the Company's main subsidiaries and levied on actual profits.
Income tax expense also includes the corporate income taxes which are levied on a deemed profit basis and revenue basis (withholding taxes). Current tax
is the expected income tax payable or receivable in respect of taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date, and any adjustment to income tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from
the declaration of dividends. This presentation adequately reflects the Company's global tax return.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
their tax bases.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit or loss
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the Company is able to control
the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill
