All costs incurred to sell [time-sharing](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-sharing "An arrangement in which a seller sells or conveys the right to occupy a dwelling unit for specified periods in the future. Forms of time-sharing arrangements include but are not limited to fixed and floating time, interval ownership, undivided interests, points programs, vacation clubs, right-to-use arrangements such as tenancy-for-years arrangements, and arrangements involving special-purpose entities. In this context, an undivided interest is a time-sharing arrangement that involves a tenant-in-common interest in a condominium unit or entire improved property, and in which the interest holder is assigned a specific period (generally, a specific week). The interest holder is also assigned a specific unit if the undivided interest is in the entire improved property.")[intervals](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#interval "The specific period (generally, a specific week) during the year that a time-sharing unit is specified by agreement to be available for occupancy by a particular customer. Also denoted Time-Sharing Interest or Time-Share.") should be charged to expense as incurred unless they specifically qualify for capitalization in accordance with the guidance in paragraphs

Costs incurred to rent units during holding periods shall be deferred if they are both:

1.  a
    
    Directly associated with, and their recovery is reasonably expected from, transactions involving the rental of units during holding periods
    
2.  b
    
    Incremental, that is, the costs would not have been incurred by the seller had a particular [holding period](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/h/#holding-period "The period during which a time-sharing interval is held for sale. Sellers may offer time-sharing units for rent during such holding periods.") rental transaction not occurred.
    

An example of a directly associated, incremental cost is a commission. Deferred costs to rent time-sharing units during holding periods shall be charged to expense, or netted in the reduction of inventory costs (as described in paragraph [978-330-35-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/330/978/#330-978-35-3)), in the period in which the rental takes place.
