FAQ
What is a Journal Entry for Lease? A journal entry for a lease records the financial transactions related to the leasing of an asset. This involves documenting the initial recognition of lease obligations and assets, as well as ongoing payments and expenses.
Once we have gathered our information (i.e., we know the lease term, the lease payment, and the discount rate), we simply discount the liability over the lease term, using the discount rate. We then record the lease liability, or the resulting amount, on the balance sheet. Then, we record the lease asset.
Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), leased land may be recognized as a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset or a Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) asset, depending on the nature of the lease. Under IFRS 16, leases are classified into two types: finance leases and operating leases.
In these lease-to-own arrangements, an asset is originally accounted for as a right to use asset, then subsequently treated as a fixed asset. This may be preferable to an organization as opposed to purchasing the asset outright for a number of reasons.

The upfront fees is treated as prepaid expenses and the same shall be amortized over the period of the lease. The amortization of the upfront fees is treated as rent expense. The annual lease payment is also treated as rent. The treatment is same both in books and tax.
