Monika MARKIEWICZ
Konieczność złożenia formularza ORD-U – czyli rocznej informacji o umowach zawartych z nierezydentami w rozumieniu Prawa dewizowego – to obowiązek, o którym przedsiębiorcy i księgowi bardzo często zapominają, narażając firmę na grzywnę.

Under the balance sheet law, if lease was concluded for a period of more than 75% of the economic life of the leased asset, it should be recorded in the balance sheet as finance lease.
