For businesses engaged in transportation, specifically for vehicles used in transporting goods, the applicable rates of depreciation under the Income Tax Act can be advantageous. Here’s a breakdown of the depreciation rates applicable to vehicles used in transportation:
1. **For Motor Vehicles (other than those used in a business of running them on hire):**
- The depreciation rate is 15% as per the Income Tax Rules.
2. **For Motor Vehicles used in a business of running them on hire:**
- The depreciation rate is 30% as per the Income Tax Rules.
Given your client's business model where they receive lorry hire charges for transporting goods, the applicable depreciation rate would depend on whether the vehicles are used solely for transporting goods (not on hire) or are specifically used in a business of running them on hire.
### Scenario Analysis:
- **If the vehicles are used for transporting goods (not on hire):**
- The applicable depreciation rate would be 15% as per the Income Tax Rules.
- **If the vehicles are used in a business of running them on hire (which includes receiving lorry hire charges from other parties):**
- The applicable depreciation rate would be 30% as per the Income Tax Rules.
### Conclusion:
To determine the maximum rate of depreciation that your client can avail, it's crucial to ascertain whether the vehicles are used for transporting goods themselves or if they are hired out to other parties. Based on this distinction, your client would apply either the 15% or the 30% depreciation rate for motor vehicles under the Income Tax Act.
It’s recommended to verify the specific usage and categorization of the vehicles in your client’s business to ensure correct application of the depreciation rates. Additionally, consulting with a tax advisor or accountant can provide tailored guidance based on the detailed specifics of your client’s business operations.
