The IASB proposed to extend the amendment to IFRS 16, giving lessees relief from lease modification accounting for COVID-19 rent concessions.
The proposed update to the amendment would allow it to be applied to a change in lease payments arising from COVID-19 originally due on or before 30 June 2022.
The proposed update to the amendment, if finalised, will apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 and may be applied early.
