How this tool works

Economic depreciation spreads cost less residual value over useful life. The tax calculation limits the annual amount for the selected asset type. The first year uses the number of months you enter.

No. The tool supports movable business assets and goodwill. Building rules, floor values and accelerated depreciation are not included.
