Leased asset transfer to freehold - Ali Uppal - 11-05-2010

As we know in tax all leases are treated as operating leases. Therefore tax base of leased asset is nil. However when the lease asset is transferred to freehold (in case of finance lease), the it should be shown as addition in the tax admissible schedule (on WDV of course.)
But i have seen some tax computations where such transfer is not shown as addition in tax admissible schedule. I want to know the relevant reference from the income tax ordinance or rules regarding this issue?
Is it optional to show this addition or not?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Ali in tax Leased assets will always be transferred on their residual value(Usually the security deposit given at the time of lease). This is because u have already claim lease rentals every year.
However in accounting they will be transferred on WDV
