Hello,
I'm looking at automating our asset management but can't see how I can depreciate a pool of assets, rather than individual assets.
Under Australian Tax laws for small (sub $10M/annum) businesses, depreciation is either an instant write-off (for assets up to $20K), or depreciated in a pool for other assets.
The instant write-off is straight forward (depreciate over 0 years), but for other assets, the rules are...
- Depreciate 15% in the first year
- Add the residual to an asset pool, the value of which is depreciated at 30%/annum ongoing.
- Depreciate the balance of the pool when its residual value is at or below the instant write-off threshold ($20K)
We can do this manually, but hope that there is a way we can automate some or all of this with the Asset Module.
Many Thanks
Steve
