Easy to Make Depreciation Chart Through Gen I-T Software

Simple Intro About the Depreciation

The concept of depreciation is used for the purpose of writing off the cost of an asset over its useful life. Depreciation is a mandatory deduction in the profit and loss statements of an entity using depreciable assets and the Act allows deduction either using the Straight-Line method or Written Down Value (WDV) method.

The calculation for depreciation under the WDV method is widely used. However, in case the undertaking is engaged in power generation or its generation and distribution, there is an option to choose the straight-line method.

Requirements For Claiming Depreciation

• The assets must be owned, wholly or partly, by the assessee.
• The assets must be in use for the business or profession of the taxpayer. If the assets are not used exclusively for the business, but for other purposes as well, depreciation allowable would be proportionate to the use of business purposes. The Income Tax Officer also has the right to determine the proportionate part of the depreciation under Section 38 of the Act.
• Co-owners can claim depreciation to the extent of the value of the assets owned by each co-owner.
• You cannot claim depreciation on Goodwill and cost of land.
• Depreciation is mandatory from A.Y. 2002-03 and shall be allowed or deemed to have been allowed as a deduction irrespective of a claim made by a taxpayer in the profit & loss account. That is, the taxpayer can carry forward the WDV after reducing the depreciation amount.
• If opted for a presumptive taxation scheme, the deemed profit is said to have considered the effect of depreciation.
• Depreciation under the Companies Act, of 1956 is different from that of the Income Tax Act. Therefore, depreciation rates prescribed under the Income Tax Act are only allowed irrespective of the depreciation rates charged in the books of accounts.
