IASB issues Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011): Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture.
The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.
The amendments will be effective from annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016.
