ACCOUNTING FOR LEASE
Value Added Tax (VAT)
-
- Lessees can claim back all VAT as input tax when they conclude a lease agreement.
- The amortization schedule shows how the lease obligation balance reduces over time due to the capital payments and how the interest component decreases as well.
- Finally, after the lease has been fully paid, the lease obligation account balance will be zero, and the Right of Use Asset Account balance will be equal to the Initial Cost of the Lease.
- Installments include VAT and effective interest rates and tax rates need to be taken into account when calculating the cost of the lease.
Taxation (SA Normal Tax)
- In the case of a lease, the carrying amount for tax purposes is the amount deductible in future, while for accounting purposes, it is the outstanding lease obligation.
- For assets, the carrying amount is the cost price less accumulated depreciation, while the Tax Base is the Amount Deductible in Future.
- For liabilities, the carrying amount is the outstanding lease obligation, while the Tax Base is the Carrying Amount less The Amount Deductible in Future.
- Temporary differences occur when there is a difference between the amount claimed for tax purposes and the amount recognized for accounting purposes.
