Section 228MB Calculation of present valueF1

(1)

For the purposes of section 228MA the “present value” of an amount is to be calculated by using the interest rate implicit in the lease.

(2)

The general rule is that the interest rate implicit in the lease is the interest rate that would apply in accordance with normal commercial criteria, including, in particular, generally accepted accounting practice (where applicable).

(3)

If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined in accordance with subsection (2), it is taken to be F2the incremental borrowing rate.

(F34)

For this purpose, the incremental borrowing rate has the same meaning as it has for accounting purposes.

(5)

The Treasury may by regulations amend this section for the purpose of replacing references to the incremental borrowing rate with references to another rate.
