    Donated land
    What's the accounting treatment of donated land?

    If the land is received from a government agency then you should record the land at fair value and you should credit the donated capital account in the equity section of the balance sheet. If the donation is received from a nongovernmental agency then you should record a gain on receipt of a donated capital in the income statement.

    Yystella, if you want to respond to someone, please scroll down and use the answer box instead of the little comment thing. (We'll call it a "technical issue" but the comment box was only meant for just like a quick thank you or something, not a follow up post.)

    You can not book a gain at donation... you just credit a Paid In Capital Account. Gain, if any will be recognixed when sale...

    Why does this question show zero answers and yet has several answers?
