I am getting the treatment of capital allowance really mixed up. For a scenario with a tax rate of 25% and straight line depreciation period of 4 years for NPV computation, i have seen tax allowed depreciation taken 20% of the cost of the depreciable asset while in some other instances, it has been taken as 25% of 25% of the depreciable asset. i will like a clarification of the correct what to treat it
cyh: the tax benefit from capital allowances follows the same rules as does the tax on the profit. If there is a one year delay in tax, then there is a one year delay on the tax saving from the capital allowances.
ayopeloye: It depends whether the depreciation is straight line or reducing balance, and that is a Paper F3 problem.
Have you actually watched my free lectures (especially the Paper F9 lectures on investment appraisal with tax, because this is revision of Paper F9) ? I cannot type out all of my lectures here 🙂
