Systematize Date Lease For Free

The lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments and is measured at the present value of future lease payments. 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.

Ing to IFRS 16, the lease liability value is calculated with the following formula: The present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term. Discounted at the rate implicit in the lease.

On the lease inception (start) date, the company would capitalize the finance lease onto the balance sheet based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. The company then needs to amortize the ROU asset.

The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments not paid at that date. The payments should be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that is not available, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the sum of the following: The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received. Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

Commencement Date of the Lease (Commencement Date): The date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee. See paragraphs 842-10-55-19 through 55-21 for implementation guidance on the commencement date.

At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined.

The lease commencement date is the official starting point when the rights and responsibilities of both parties under the lease agreement come into effect. It's important to note that the lease commencement date may differ from the Lease Effective Date or the Lease Start Date, which we'll explain further below.
