- Definition

The amount of the expense relating to short-term leases accounted for applying paragraph 6 of IFRS 16. This expense need not include the expense relating to leases with a lease term of one month or less. Short-term lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less. A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short-term lease.
