Sale of a lease
In this lesson, you'll learn how to calculate gains on the sale of a lease—a key disposal topic for your tax papers. You'll discover why long leases (over 50 years) are treated differently from short leases (under 50 years), and how to apply the wasting asset formula using the percentage tables provided in your exam.
