A goods transport agency sold two commercial vehicles in July 2023 and wants to know if they can claim 50% of the usual depreciation rate. This is because the vehicles were used for less than 180 days in the financial year. The advice given is that they are not eligible for this reduced depreciation.

We are Goods Transport agency, and have sold two commercial vehicles during July 2023. My question is whether we can we depreciate the sold vehicles at 50% of usual depreciation rate (30%) as they are sold in July 2023 and are put to use for less than 180 days during this Financial Year.
