Título: Reglas de depreciación en la India

Intro:

Step 1: Depreciation is the process by which a taxed entity recovers its basis in property that has been eroded due to obsolescence, depletion, and ordinary wear and tear. Essentially, allowing businesses to deduct for deprecation is the government's way of recognizing the reality of costs that otherwise do not show up on balance sheets. Indian tax law allows for depreciation on a variety of assets.

Step 2: Owners of buildings can depreciate them at an annual rate of 5 percent to 10 percent, depending on the type of building. Residential buildings take the 5 percent rate. Hotels and certain dwelling units depreciate at 20 percent. Purely temporary structures, such as tents, may be fully depreciated in a single year. (See References 1 and 2.)

Step 3: Furniture depreciates at 10 percent to 15 percent under Indian tax law, reflecting a shorter useful life than buildings.

Step 4: Intangible assets, such as goodwill, have a tendency to evaporate fast. India allows for a 25 percent depreciation allowance for intangible assets.

Step 5: Machinery and general equipment depreciates at 25 percent per year under Indian law.

Step 6: India allows you to depreciate the cost of vehicles over five years, or 20 percent per year (See Reference 1), although Indian law prohibits taking depreciation on foreign cars. (See Reference 2.) Taxis, buses, and vehicles 'for hire' depreciate at 40 percent.

Step 7: Planes, helicopters, and trucks depreciate at 40 percent per year in India.

Step 8: If you have more depreciation in a given year than you have profits to write them off against, you can carry them forward to write them off against future profits. There is no time limit. (See Reference 2.)
