5. Finance income and charges

Accounting policies

Net interest includes interest income and charges in respect of financial instruments and the results of hedging transactions used to manage interest rate risk.

Finance charges directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, being an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are added to the cost of that asset. Borrowing costs which are not capitalised are recognised in the income statement based on the effective interest method. All other finance charges are recognised primarily in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

Net other finance charges include items in respect of post employment plans, the discount unwind of long-term obligations and hyperinflation charges. The results of operations in hyperinflationary economies are adjusted to reflect the changes in the purchasing power of the local currency of the entity before being translated to sterling.

The impact of derivatives, excluding cash flow hedges that are in respect of commodity risk management or those that are used to hedge the currency risk of highly probable future currency cash flows, is included in interest income or interest charge.

Includes £46 million interest income and £(471) million interest charge in respect of  financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value through the income statement (2019 - £86 million income and £(439) million charge; 2018 - £73 million income and £(394) million charge).

The presentation of the years ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 have been changed due to a reclassification to include £302 million (2018 - £269 million) of interest in respect of bonds formerly included previously in ‘interest charge on all other borrowings’.
(iii)
Interest expense of £9 million for the year ended 30 June 2020 in respect of leases that in prior years were classified as operating leases under the previous accounting standard (and were charged to other external charges) and following the adoption of IFRS 16 have now been capitalised.
