Identification of the components of the contract<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before determining the term, the entity must correctly identify the components of the contract:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lease component<\/strong>: use of the underlying asset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other components<\/strong>: services or obligations that do not constitute a lease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If non-lease components cannot be easily separated because they are of limited significance, the lessee may account for them as if they were part of a single lease, except in the case of derivative financial instruments (IFRS C-10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Lease term<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He <strong>lease term<\/strong> includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The non-cancellable period<\/strong> of the contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Periods covered by options<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Extend the lease, if it exists <strong>reasonable certainty<\/strong> to exercise the option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terminate the lease, if any <strong>reasonable certainty<\/strong> of <strong>not to exercise<\/strong> the termination option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Factors to determine the term<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of the lease, the entity must analyze all economic and contractual conditions, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Terms and payments for optional periods, compared to the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Early termination penalties and residual value guarantees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improvements to leased assets that encourage permanence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Costs for termination, relocation or replacement of the asset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Importance of the asset for the operation and availability of alternatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, <strong>The shorter the non-cancellable periods, the greater the likelihood that the lessee will exercise extension options<\/strong> to avoid additional costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. History and economic use<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He <strong>tenant history<\/strong> with similar assets is key to determining the term:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you frequently extend leases for a certain type of asset, it is assumed that there is reasonable certainty of extension.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very long-term leases or leases with no defined term can be considered similar to a purchase, using as a reference the <strong>economic life of the asset<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Reassessment of the deadline<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tenant must <strong>review the deadline<\/strong> if they occur <strong>significant events or changes<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Significant unforeseen improvements to the leased asset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Substantial customization or modification of the asset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subleases longer than the original term.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strategic business decisions that depend on the use of the asset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the certainty of exercising or not exercising an option changes, <strong>the lease term must be modified<\/strong> to reflect the new situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Modification of the lease term<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deadline changes when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A previously unincluded option is exercised or a previously considered option is not exercised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An event occurs that contractually requires or prohibits the exercise of an option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Situation<\/strong>: A company leases a premises for 3 years with an option for 2 additional years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Initial evaluation<\/strong>: The company invests in expensive adaptations to the premises (significant economic benefit).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Determination of the term<\/strong>: 5 years (3 initial + 2 optional with reasonable certainty of exercising).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Post change<\/strong>: The company decides to close the branch before year 3, generating a re-evaluation of the term and accounting adjustment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correct determination and review of the <strong>lease term<\/strong> It is essential to adequately reflect the rights and obligations of the tenant.<br>Take into account the <strong>economic, historical and contractual factors<\/strong> allows compliance with NIF and presentation of reliable financial information.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El plazo de un arrendamiento es un elemento fundamental para la correcta contabilizaci\u00f3n bajo las Normas de Informaci\u00f3n Financiera (NIF) D-5, ya que afecta la medici\u00f3n de los activos y pasivos relacionados. 1.
