13 May, 2020

We have published our comment letters on IFRS Interpretations Committee tentative agenda decisions related to IAS 12 and IFRS 16, as published in the March 2020 IFRIC Update.

More in­for­ma­tion about the issues is set out below:

Issue

Agenda decision supported?

More in­for­ma­tion

IAS 12 — Deferred tax related to an investment in a subsidiary

Yes

IFRS 16 — Sale and leaseback with variable payments

Yes; conclusions regarding the measurement of the RoU asset and the resulting gain or loss for the reasons stated in the tentative agenda decision and how to measure a right-of-use asset (RoU asset) arising from a sale and leaseback and thus how to determine the amount of any gain or loss on the transaction. In addition, we suggest the Board consider (1) addressing what appears to be a conflict between IFRS 16 paragraphs BC262 and BC266 and (2) the scope of this project on subsequent measurement of the liability to encompass, for example, the impact of contract modifications.
