Calculate or reverse depreciation by using the tax non-linear group depreciation method

You can calculate depreciation for tax accounting by using the linear depreciation method or the non-linear depreciation method. You can also calculate tax depreciation by using the tax non-linear group depreciation method. This method lets you calculate the depreciation amount that is accrued for each depreciation group or subgroup. To use this method, you specify a depreciation rate for each group, or a depreciation factor for each subgroup.

You can group the depreciation register lines by depreciation group or subgroup by using the FA depreciation (nonlinear method), IA depreciation (nonlinear method), FA - information about object, and IA - object information tax registers.

Use the following procedures to set up a depreciation method, and to calculate or reverse depreciation by using the tax non-linear group method.

Calculating a depreciation bonus

The depreciation bonus is an additional depreciation amount that is assessed during the first year for some operational asset types. Before you can calculate the fixed asset depreciation bonus, you must set up a posting profile and create an acquisition journal.

Use the Depreciation bonus page to calculate the depreciation bonus for fixed assets by using the tax non-linear group depreciation method. When you create the depreciation transactions, a depreciation bonus is calculated for every asset. The bonus amount is calculated first, and then the depreciation from the cost is calculated. This depreciation excludes the bonus. The bonus amount isn't included in the total balance of the depreciation group. For more information, see Depreciation bonuses (Russia).
