What is advance rental?

An advance rental is paid in case of an operating lease and represents a part of the lease rate paid in advance, by which the amount of financing is reduced. An invoice inclusive of VAT is issued for the advance rental.

How is it accounted for?
If the lessee is subject to corporate income tax, it accounts for the advance rental as prepaid expense over the term of the lease agreement. Print
