What is Variable consideration (IFRS 15)?

The portion of the consideration in a customer contract that is not fixed because of discounts, returns, rebates, volume bonuses, penalties or performance-based payments.

It is estimated using the expected value or most likely amount method and included in revenue only to the extent that a significant reversal is highly unlikely. Year-end volume rebates and rights of return are the most common examples in Turkey.
