Income has been aggregated according to its nature and has not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific standard, or where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event. Licence and administration fees are measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. The licence and administration fees are set by the relevant Minister in accordance with sections under the relevant Acts. Licence and administration fee revenue is recognised when it is received or receivable. Unearned revenue is recognised where cash is received by the Commission for licence or administration fees prior to the date of renewal or issue.
