1993 SNA Update Information - Country comments for issue:
Brevets | | Issue description | | Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish] | | Le SCN de 1993 assimile les brevets à des actifs incorporels non produits. Toutefois, les paiements versés par les utilisateurs de brevets sont, par convention, comptabilisés en tant que paiements de services (comparables au loyer prévu par un contrat de location simple d’actifs fixes). Cela est contraire aux règles comptables du SCN, qui traite les paiements au titre de l’utilisation d’actifs non produits en tant que revenu de la propriété. Si la R D n’est pas assimilée à la formation de capital, les paiements en contrepartie de l’utilisation de brevets doivent ils continuer à être comptabilisés comme paiements de services? |

1993 SNA Update Issues. | | 7/28/2006 | Lithuania | In general we support the recommendations. | | 12/1/2005 | Israel | We agree with the recommendations of the AEG. | | 9/30/2004 | Lesotho - Central Bank | In the system patented entities are treated as non-produced intangible assets. However, payments received from patent users are by convention recorded as output of services similar to rentals from lease of fixed assets. This is contrary to other non-produced assets such as land. Should R&D costs and the original derived from it be linked or capitalized separately? Furthermore. how should originals be valued and what types of price indexes should be used to deflate the output of services from patented entities?
Comment: This should be changed and payments from patented entities must be indexed to EPS. |
