    Ooops. Sorry, I read your initial post too quickly.

    Strictly, in the final year there is no depreciation but instead we simply subtract the proceeds (in this case zero) from the tax written down value and the difference is a balancing allowance.

    However if you do depreciate in the final year and then subtract the proceeds to get a balancing allowance, the overall affect will be exactly the same.

    I don’t understand what you mean.

    If the asset is not disposed of (and assuming as is normally the case that it is reducing balance depreciation) then the depreciation is calculated every year, and will reduce the taxable profit and therefore save tax.
