WHAT IS DEPRECIATION
While computing profits and gains from business or profession, a taxpayer can claim depreciation on all those assets which he has acquired and used for the purpose of his business or profession. Different depreciation rates are prescribed for different nature of assets. This write up lists down all such depreciation rates.
CALCULATION OF DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is Calculated as per the provisions of income tax act for income tax return and companies are calculated as per companies act. So Depreciation is calculated by two method one is as per companies act or one is as per income tax act. Today we provide depreciation chart as per income tax act for easily calculate depreciation.
PROVISIONS OF DEPRECIATION AS PER INCOME TAX ACT
As per Income Tax Act 1962 Depreciation calculation is mandatory. So All firms who furnish return to income tax return calculate depreciation as per income tax act
