EZ 67: Leased assets

You could also call this:

“Special rules for KiwiRail's leased assets and personal property lease payments”

If you are KiwiRail Holdings Limited, you need to know about some special rules for leased assets. For the 2012-13 income year, you have to work out how much you spent on personal property lease payments for Railways assets or liabilities. You do this as if the year started on 31 December, not at the usual time.

From the 2013-14 income year onwards, when you’re dealing with personal property lease payments, you need to act as if KiwiRail Holdings Limited and New Zealand Railways Corporation were the same company for all the time up to 31 December 2012. This helps you figure out how to handle these payments correctly.

These rules are part of a bigger set of rules about how to handle things when moving into a new way of dealing with life insurance. They’re designed to make the change easier and cover special cases that might come up.
