Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense.Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

RecognitionAn entity shall capitalise borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction orproduction of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. An entity shall recognise other borrowing costsas an expense in the period in which it incurs them.A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended useor sale.To the extent that an entity borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the entityshall determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation as the actual borrowing costs incurredon that borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of thoseborrowings.

To the extent that an entity borrows funds generally and uses them for the purpose of obtaining a qualifyingasset, the entity shall determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation by applying acapitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of theborrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the entity that are outstanding during the period, other thanborrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The amount of borrowing costs

that an entity capitalises during a period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during thatperiod.An entity shall begin capitalising borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset on thecommencement date. The commencement date for capitalisation is the date when the entity first meets all ofthe following conditions:(a) it incurs expenditures for the asset;(b) it incurs borrowing costs; and(c) it undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
