Overview
When determining the limit on a defined benefit asset in accordance with IAS 19.64 Employee Benefits (2011), under IFRIC 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interactions entities are required to measure any economic benefits available to them in the form of refunds or reductions in future contributions at the maximum amount that is consistent with the terms and conditions of the plan and any statutory requirements in the jurisdiction of the plan. The entity's intentions on how to use a surplus (for instance, whether the entity intends to improve benefits rather than reduce contributions or get a refund) must be disregarded.
