    Hi again

    The taxman doesn’t like our variable depreciation policies and it makes it altogether too difficult to run a tax system efficiently. Instead the tax man ignores our depreciation calculations and instead gives us capital allowances. Where we are depreciating at say 10% straight line, the taxman is allowing us 25% reducing balance.

    But our neighbour is depreciating at 30% straight line. The taxman allows him 25% reducing balance too.

    I believe that that’s what is being referred to in your post title – the taxman allowing capital allowances sometimes greater than the accounting depreciation charge
