We know, formula of reducing balance method of depreciation is;
(cost-salvage value)*depreciation rate
but in the calculation of Tax allowable depreciation why is the cost of asset directly multiplied by depreciation rate without reducing salvage value????
Exactly which paper are you studying for?
Although I will answer you, TAD is not examinable in Paper MA (it is not examined until Paper FM).
Even in financial accounting, any salvage value is not normally taken into account when using reducing balance depreciation (only if using straight line depreciation).
For tax allowable depreciation it is never ever taken into account. This is a tax rule. The disposal value is not relevant until the year of disposal when it results in a balancing charge or balancing allowance. This is all explain, with examples, in my free Paper FM lectures on investment appraisal with tax.

Thats why i am facing some problems relating these issues 🙁 🙁
The ACCA has changed the name of its exams, and Paper P4 is now called Paper AFM 🙂
Our Paper AFM lectures are a complete free course for Paper AFM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
