In September 2018 ELFA filed a formal Comment Letter with the FASB on proposed amendments to the new lease accounting standard. The Proposed Accounting Standards Update,
Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, responds to three post-issuance questions: the accounting for sales, use and similar taxes; the accounting for other costs paid by a lessee that may benefit a lessor; and variable payments when contracts have lease and non-lease components.
