What is difference Between Income & Expenses

Income consists of followings:
  • Revenue from the sale of goods or services
  • Other items of income such as interest received from investments
  • Gains from disposing of non-current assets for more than the amount at which they are carried in the records (carrying amount).
  • For example, if a machine is sold for Rs. 15,000 when its value in the statement of financial position is Rs. 10,000, there is a gain on disposal of Rs. 5,000. The term ‘revenue’ means income earned in the course of normal business operations. In a statement of comprehensive income , revenue and ‘other income’ are reported as separate items.


Expenses consist of followings:

  • Expenses arising in the ordinary course of activities
  • Including the cost of sales
  • Wages and salaries
  • The cost of the depletion of non-current assets,
  • Interest payable on loans and so on losses arising from disasters such as fire and flood, and also losses from disposing of non-current assets for less than their carrying value in the statement of financial position.
