depreciation
7y ago#1Hi,
Can you please just check the date of purchase for the asset. You have it as 1 Jan 2010 and if that is the case then it doesn't fit with the rest of the information regarding the change in use to IP on 1 July 2009.
Given there has been depreciation for 9.5 years then could the acquisition date be 1 Jan 2000? 9.5 years from then would be 1 July 2009.
Thanks
