Pay Tax on Found Money? [Video]

Pay Tax on Found Money?

If you find buried treasure, are you subject to income tax?

In 1957, a husband and wife bought a used piano for $15 at an auction.

They were cleaning the piano seven years later and found $4,467 cash inside the piano.

The couple said the money wasn’t taxable.

Here’s their argument:
• Congress had enacted § 74 to say prizes and awards are taxable, but § 74 didn’t mention anything about being taxed if you found a treasure trove
• The couple said the money should be treated as a gift, and thus nontaxable under § 102

But a court of law disagreed, saying all income is taxable unless the tax code says otherwise.

IFRS 16 Lessor Accounting Example 2 | Finance Lease [Video]

When a lessor accounts for a finance lease under IFRS 16, the lessor must derecognize the asset from its statement of financial position and record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. If the lessor is a manufacturer or dealer, then the lessor must also record sales revenue and cost of goods sold upon commencement of the lease. Both the sales revenue and cost of goods sold must be reduced by the present value of the unguaranteed residual value.The lessor will then recognize interest revenue throughout the lease term. At the end of the lease, the lessor will restore the asset to its statement of financial position. If the actual residual value turns out to be less than the unguaranteed residual value, the lessor records a loss for the difference.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

If the actual residual value turns out to be less than the guaranteed residual value, the lessor will receive cash from the lessee to cover the shortfall. — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
