In Romanian legislation, the issue of the foreign exchange differences is treated at a general level: these are recognized as a profit and loss item and as a consequence, they are included in the taxable base when booked in the accounting. Our legislation does not provide for specific treatments depending on the 'realization momenf' of these differences or depending on the conditions for recognizing a gain/loss from foreign exchange differences. For the unrealized exchange differences arising from the application of accounting rules on monthly assessment of foreign currency monetary items, there is not a specific event or transaction to determine income or expenditure. This monthly review depending on the National Bank of Romania [BNR] foreign exchange rate valid on the last day of the month aims to bring closer to reality the financial position of an entity. The exchange rate is a monetary policy item set by the central bank and may be influenced by various factors such as: monetary policy of the BNR; inflation target objectives and rate of exchange stabilization or reduction efforts, as is the case of BNR in the last years to fulfill EU criteria for adoption of the EURO; periodical influences of speculative capitals on the exchange rate level; economic status and especially exports and imports. However, a taxpayer should not be charged unless there is evidence of the "economic enrichment" thereof. However, this enrichment, seen as a rising economic value of the company, depends on the perspective from which is seen: the owner of the company or the tax authorities. The exchange differences impact also the value of the owners' equity for which a minimum level is requested under the commercial company law. In case of negative values, this triggers various risks at the level of the continuity principle or even endangers the existence of the company.展开更多

As a result, differences in the exchange rate will lead to foreign exchange, be it a foreign exchange gain or foreign exchange losses. Exchange rate used at the beginning of the transaction is the exchange rate on the transaction, but in Indonesian currency transactions, what is often used is the exchange rate issued by the Directorate General of Taxation (DGT). If at the end of the period, a balance of foreign currency still exists, then it will be adjusted using a fixed rate or an exchange rate of Central Bank of Indonesia. The results showed that the treatment of foreign exchange at the fishery company was using both the exchange rate allowed in the accounting and taxation regulations in Indonesia. The balance of transactions is related to export, be it a balance of accounts receivable on the sale of the outstanding balance of exports and export freight carried at the exchange rate adjustment of Central Bank of Indonesia, subsequent transactions relating to the purchase of imports were adjusted to a fixed exchange rate, which means that the balance payable on imports will continue to use the exchange rate at the beginning of the transaction展开更多
