AASB 136 Impairment of Assets
Measuring recoverable amount: fair value less disposal costs, value in use and the discount rate (paragraphs 18 to 57, Appendix A) – AASB 136 Impairment of Assets

AASB 136 Impairment of Assets 50-54: Exclude financing cash flows and income tax from the projections, estimate end-of-life disposal proceeds on an arm's length basis using current prices for similar assets adjusted consistently for inflation, recognise that fair value ignores entity-specific synergies, rights and tax attributes, and estimate foreign currency cash flows in their own currency with a matching rate before translating at the spot rate

What does 50-54 require?

Because the time value of money enters through discounting and the discount rate is pre-tax, projections leave out financing inflows and outflows and income tax receipts and payments. The net amount expected on disposal at the end of the asset's life is what an arm's length sale between knowledgeable, willing parties would yield after disposal costs, estimated like fair value less disposal costs but using prices prevailing at the estimate date for similar assets at the end of their lives under similar conditions, adjusted for general inflation and specific price changes unless the rest of the model excludes inflation. Fair value and value in use differ: fair value reflects market participant assumptions and ignores portfolio or grouping value, synergies with other assets, legal rights or restrictions specific to the current owner, and owner-specific tax benefits or burdens to the extent market participants would not share them. Cash flows in a foreign currency are projected in that currency and discounted at a rate suited to it, and the resulting present value is translated at the spot rate on the calculation date.
