ifrs 16 lease - sub leasing and intermediate lessor

Aabdullah5y ago
if a company leases a building from a lessor for a few years and then acts as an intermediate lessor and sub leases the same building to another company/third party , how is the accounting treatment done in the company accounts (the building remains with the original head lessor at the end of the lease) ? are they shown as two separate transactions independant of one another ?

Short answer = yes. Many permutations - I would hope they are too messy for the exam. But, if you are interested, BDO have a good summary: https://www.bdo.nz/en-nz/ifrs-16-creates-complexity-in-subleasing-arrangements
