    Please let me know if following mentioned info is correct or not

    Lease = less than 12 months

    IFRS 16 has Optional Exemption for short term leases. No asset/liab ? Lease exp dr. ; Cash cr.

    BUT, this Option opted should be consistent for each class of asset.

    Twist, Lease taken at Year End. So:-
    1. If exemption taken = No impact on CY FS. No asset no liab and also no P/L impact as even though lease taken at year end, Accrual concept.
    2. If exemption not taken = recog RTU asset and Lease Liab. No P/L impact.

    Hello Tutor,

    can you please explain the ‘twist’ part.

    Wouldn’t we have to record the lease expense according to the accrual concept?

    If the lease commences very shortly before the y/e there will be no current year expense. If paid in advance there would be prepayment.
