In tax allowable depreciation using reducing balance when there is no disposal of machine at the year end(y6) so for y6 do we depreciate first then find the tax on it or
Do we have to find the tax on bal figure ..wdv -0(zero)disposal=bal.
Bal* tax rateNovember 24, 2021 at 7:13 am #641429Yes – that is correct.
November 24, 2021 at 8:49 pm #641552Which is correct ?
1)so for y6 do we depreciate first then find the tax on it or
2)Do we have to find the tax on bal figure ..wdv -0(zero)disposal=bal.
Bal* tax rateNovember 25, 2021 at 8:55 am #641574Ooops. 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.
November 25, 2021 at 3:23 pm #641606If there is no disposal so in y6 so we don’t depreciation rgt so we find the tax on it directly
November 25, 2021 at 3:48 pm #641620I 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.
