Depreciation Calculator

Compute Income-tax depreciation on the block-of-assets WDV method, with the 180-day rule and closing WDV.

Block of assets

Basis — s. 32 r/w Rule 5, Appendix I

  • Depreciation is on the written-down value of the block: full rate on (opening WDV + additions used \u2265 180 days \u2212 sale proceeds), and half rate on additions used < 180 days in the year of acquisition.
  • Common Income-tax rates: residential building 5%, other building 10%, furniture 10%, general plant & machinery 15%, computers & software 40%, intangibles 25%.
  • If sale proceeds exceed the block value, the excess is a short-term capital gain (s.50) and no depreciation arises; if the block is emptied, a short-term capital loss may arise.
