12、URE DRAFT10? IFRS Foundation3C OVID -19-R ELATED R ENT CONCESSIONS PROPOSED AMENDMENTTO IFRS 16IntroductionWhy is the Board publishing this Exposure Draft?The International Accounting Standards Board (Board) has been informed that many lessors around the world have provided, or are expected to provi

13、de, rent concessions to lessees as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. Such rent concessions are particularly prevalent for leases of retail property and, in some cases, are encouraged or required by governments or jurisdictional authorities. Rent concessions include rent holidays or rent reductions

14、for a period of time, possibly followed by increased rent payments in future periods.IFRS 16 Leases contains requirements that specify the accounting for changes in lease payments, including rent concessions. However, the Board has been informed that applying those requirements to a potentially larg

15、e volume of covid-19-related rent concessions could be practically difficult, especially in the light of the many challenges stakeholders face during the pandemic. In particular, lessees have identified potential difficulties in the current environment in assessing whether covid-19-related rent conc

16、essions are lease modifications and, for those that are, applying the required accounting.In addition, many lessees are currently preparing their first annual financial statements applying IFRS 16. Any complexity arising as a result of the covid-19 pandemic therefore adds to the work being undertake

17、n in implementing the new lessee accounting model in IFRS 16.The objective of the proposal in this Exposure Draft is to provide lessees with practical relief during the covid-19 pandemic while enabling them to continue providing useful information about their leases to users of financial statements.

18、Proposal in this Exposure DraftThe Exposure Draft proposes an amendment to IFRS 16 to permit lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether particular covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees that apply the practical expedient would account for those rent

19、 concessions as if they were not lease modifications. The Exposure Draft proposes no change for lessors.Who would be affected by the proposal?The proposal in this Exposure Draft would affect lessees that are granted rent concessionsas a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic during 2020, and us

20、ers of these lessees financial statements.Next stepThe Board will consider the comments that it receives on the proposal in this Exposure Draft and will decide whether to proceed with the proposed amendment. The Board plans to complete any resulting amendment to IFRS 16 by the end of May 2020.4? IFR

25、to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic and only if all of the following conditions are met:(a) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediat

It summarises the con sideration s of the In tern ation al Accoun tin g Stan dardsBoard (Board) when developing the Exposure Draft. Indi

44、vidual Board members gave greater weight to some factors than to others.BackgroundBC1BC2BC3IFRS 16 Leasessets out requirements for how to account for changes in lease payments during the term of a lease. The Standard contains specificrequirements for some changes in lease payments for example, those

45、 arising from changes in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. Otherwisethe accounting IFRS 16 requires for a change in lease payments depends on whether that change meets the definition of a lease modification. IFRS 16 defines a lease modification as a change in the scope of a lease, o

46、r the consideration for a lease, that was not part of the original terms and conditions of the lease. If a change in lease payments results from a lease modification, then unless the change meets particular criteria to be accounted for as a separate lease, a lessee is required to remeasure the lease

47、 liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.Many lessors have provided, or are expected to provide, rent concessions to lessees as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. The Board understands that lessees may have difficulty assessing whether a potentially large vo

48、lume of covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications and, for those that are, applying the required accounting in IFRS 16, especially in the light of the many challenges entities face during the pandemic.The proposal in this Exposure Draft provides lessees with a practical expedient in

49、accounting for particular covid-19-related rent concessions. The proposal does not address lessor accounting because lessors are not expected to face the same practical challenges as lessees in accounting for covid-19-related rent concessions. For many lessors with a large volume of leases, leasing

50、is a corepart of their business. In addition, the consequences for users of a lessor s financial statements are different from those for a lessee. In particular:(a)IFRS 16 carried forward the lessor accounting model in IAS 17Leases.Therefore, unlike lessees, lessors have not recently implemented a n

51、ew accounting model for their leases.(b)Lessor accounting for modifications to operating leases requires noremeasurement of amounts recognised in a lessor s statement offinancial position, whereas lessees are required to remeasure lease liabilities using a revised discount rate for all lease modific

52、ations. Many of the real estate leases for which covid-19-related rent concessions are being provided would be operating leases for the lessor.10? IFRS FoundationE XPOSURE DRAFT APRIL 2020(c)In the case of a finance lease, lessors apply the requirements in IFRS 9Financial Instrumentsto modifications. The information this accountingprovides is considered useful for users of a lessor s financial statementsand is consistent with the required accounting for other financialinstruments in t
