    Dear Sir,

    If an asset is held by a company,say a building, with the intention of earning rental we should follow the accounting treatment prescribed in IAS 40. Thats what I learnt. However, If we look at the Definition of PPE given in IAS 16 which is;
    “tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and are expected to be used during more than one accounting period”

    It defines assets held ‘for rental to others’ as PPE..

    How do those assets fall under PPE definition ? They should come under IAS 40, Shouldn’t they?

    Thank you in advance.

    Extract from the scope section of IAS 16

    “… except where another standard requires or permits different accounting treatments”

    OK?
