Tax queries 642 views 3 replies

Dear Friends... 

Please Help...

A company has bought an office premises in a buillding in Co-Operative Society & has charged depreciation as per Income Tax Act. on  total cost of the Office Premises.

Department is of the view that depreciation on Land is not permissible &  Cost of  the Land in Mumbai is very high. Therfore, separate  the value of  the land as per stamp duty registration value & depreciation is allowable only on remaining cost. of the office premises.

Is the treatment done by the Company Correct ?

or

Any other View ??

 

Thanks

VIEW OF DEPARTMENT IS CORRECT.

READ SECTION 205 OF COMPANIES ACT FOR DEPRICIATION.

LAND IS NOT FALLING WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF FIXED ASSET AS IT HAS INFINITE LIFE. SO, IT IS NON DEPRICIABLE ASSET.

ALSO SEE ACCOUNTING STANDARD 10 ISSUED BY ICAI AND NOTIFIED BY GOVERNMENT...

As per AS dep. not allowable on land.

As per income tax law also dep. not allowable...
