About this lesson
This illustration walks you through the critical adjustment required when selling a lease with less than 50 years remaining: using lease percentage tables rather than simple year ratios to determine the deemed cost of the asset. You'll see exactly how to apply the percentages for the remaining lease term and original duration to find your taxable gain, ensuring you avoid the common mistake of calculating cost apportionment by years alone.
