楼主好像问的税法,而不是会计准则吧, 税法好像一般要求FIFO,或有条件的选择Retranslation.
Foreign exchange (forex): the retranslation election
The Forex measures (in Division 775 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997)) generally apply a 'first-in, first-out' (FIFO) ordering rule to calculate the cost or value of a fungible foreign currency asset, right or obligation. So if, for example, a taxpayer has a foreign currency denominated bank account with a credit balance, withdrawals from that account are broadly treated as a part cessation of a right (that is, the right to receive the foreign currency in the account from the bank), the cost of which is calculated on a FIFO basis.
However a retranslation election can be made to instead bring to account gains and losses from a qualifying forex account on a retranslation basis. For many taxpayers, the retranslation method will be simpler to use to calculate gains or losses than the FIFO ordering rule, although retranslation may bring to account gains or losses that would otherwise be unrealised.
A qualifying forex account is an account denominated in a foreign currency that is either a credit card account, or an account held for the primary purpose of facilitating transactions. |
