07 May 2012 if the cars are taken under finance lease then it has to be capitalised. if its operating lease then lease rrntals are to be expensed out

09 May 2012 Thank you, please let me know how to differentiate operating lease from Finance lease

11 May 2012 If the cars have been leased for substantially the whole life of the cars, then the lease is to be classified as finance lease, otherwise operating lease.
