NOTE 25 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Government grants are nancial grants from governmental or suprana-
tional bodies received by the Volvo Group in exchange for fulfi llment of
certain conditions.
Governmental grants related to assets are presented in the balance sheet
by deducting the grants in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset.
Governmental grants related to income are reported as a deferred income
and recognized in the income statement over the periods necessary to
match the related costs. If the costs incur before the grants have been
received, but there is an agreement that grants will be received, grants are
recognized in the income statement to compensate the relevant costs.
In 2014, government grants of SEK 445 M (400) were received, and SEK
503 M (467) was recognized in the income statement. The amount
includes tax credits of SEK 255 M (245) related to product development,
which were primarily received in France and in the United States. Other
grants were mainly received from Swedish, Chinese and US governmental
organizations and from the European Commission.
