Quick Summary
When a landlord waives your firm's rent during the pandemic, it's not treated as income. Instead, any provision previously created for that rent needs to be reversed. This involves debiting the provision for rent and crediting payables, effectively reducing your rent expense.

Provision created has to be reversed.
It's not an income. As advised by Other expert, You should reverse the provision which you would have created in that year.
