IFRS Finance Lease

IFRS Finance Lease: An Overview

An IFRS finance lease, under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee. It’s essentially a method of financing the purchase of an asset, rather than a simple rental agreement. The substance of the transaction is a purchase of the asset by the lessee, with the lessor providing the financing.

Key Characteristics of a Finance Lease

Several characteristics indicate a finance lease. While no single characteristic is definitively conclusive, the presence of one or more strongly suggests the lease is a finance lease:

  • Transfer of Ownership: The lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
  • Bargain Purchase Option: The lessee has the option to purchase the asset at a price significantly lower than its fair value at the time the option becomes exercisable. This ensures the lessee will almost certainly exercise the option.
  • Major Part of Economic Life: The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset, even if title is not transferred. “Major part” is generally considered to be 75% or more.
  • Present Value of Lease Payments: At the inception of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset. “Substantially all” is generally considered to be 90% or more.
  • Specialized Asset: The leased asset is of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can use it without major modifications.

Accounting Treatment for Lessee

Under IFRS, a lessee recognizing a finance lease treats the leased asset as if it were purchased. This means the lessee will:

  • Recognize an Asset and a Liability: The lessee recognizes both an asset (the leased asset) and a corresponding liability (the lease obligation) on the balance sheet at the lower of the asset’s fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease.
  • Depreciate the Asset: The leased asset is depreciated over its useful life, or the lease term if shorter, if ownership is not transferred.
  • Expense Interest: The lease payments are split into two components: a repayment of the principal (reducing the lease liability) and an interest expense, which is recognized in the profit or loss statement.

Accounting Treatment for Lessor

For the lessor, a finance lease is essentially a sale of the asset. The lessor will:

  • Derecognize the Asset: The lessor removes the leased asset from its balance sheet.
  • Recognize a Receivable: The lessor recognizes a receivable representing the net investment in the lease (the present value of the lease payments).
  • Recognize Interest Income: The lessor recognizes interest income over the lease term, reflecting the implicit rate of return on the lease.

Impact and Importance

Proper classification and accounting for finance leases are crucial. Misclassifying a finance lease as an operating lease can significantly understate a company’s assets and liabilities, distorting financial ratios and potentially misleading investors and creditors. Understanding the nuances of IFRS lease accounting is therefore essential for accurate financial reporting.
