Overview
SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives clarifies the recognition of incentives related to operating leases by both the lessee and lessor. The Interpretation indicates that lease incentives (such as rent-free periods or contributions by the lessor to the lessee's relocation costs) should be considered an integral part of the consideration for the use of the leased asset. As they are an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, incentives should be recognized by both the lessor and the lessee over the lease term, with each party using a single amortization method applied to the net consideration.
