You can set up parameters to define the depreciation threshold and determine the percentage of depreciation on a fixed asset. If a fixed asset was purchased and used for fewer than 180 days during the previous financial year, only 50 percent of the rate of depreciation is calculated for the asset. For example, if the rate of depreciation is 10 percent, only 5 percent depreciation is calculated on the asset.

  1. Click Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets parameters.

  2. Select the Income tax Act depreciation check box.

  3. Enter the threshold number of days up to which proportionate depreciation can be applied on a fixed asset in the Asset group depreciation threshold field.

    Note

    Normal depreciation will be applied for a fixed asset that is used for a period that exceeds or is equal to the threshold period.

  4. Enter the proportionate percentage that must be applied on a fixed asset that is used for a period that is less than or equal to the threshold in the Depreciation threshold percentage field.

    Note

    The depreciation threshold percentage will be applied to the normal depreciation percentage of the fixed asset only if the fixed asset has been put to use for less than or equal to the number of days defined in the Asset group depreciation threshold field in the year of purchase.

  5. Press CTRL+S or close the form.
