1993 SNA Update Information - Expert comments for issue:
Coûts de transfert de propriété

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Les coûts de transfert de propriété d’actifs financiers sont considérés comme des dépenses courantes, tandis que ceux qui concernent des actifs non financiers sont comptabilisés à titre de dépenses en capital. La question de départ consistait à déterminer s’il faut continuer à enregistrer les coûts de transfert de la propriété d’actifs non financiers comme dépenses en capital ou comme des dépenses courantes. L’examen a été élargi afin d’englober le traitement des coûts du transfert de propriété d’un actif au moment de sa cession, y compris les coûts finaux, et la période de radiation des coûts de transfert de la propriété par la consommation de capital fixe.

 8/11/2004Fadhil Mahdi (ESCWA)The Canberra II Group handled this issue where there were three options proposed for treatment of COT: Option 1: To treat all COT as current expenditure Option 2: To treat all COT as capital e1tpenditure Option 3: To treat all COT on acquisition for first owner as capital expenditure and all subsequent COT as current expenditure We think that the third option is more logical and relevant because all COT of an asset during its first period of owning is part of the gross fixed capital formation while subsequent COT is current expenditure since it represents, in most cases, a very minimal value of transferring ownership of an asset that has been repeatedly used overtime. In addition, this option will keep the gross fixed capital formation of the country unchanged.
