25 May 2010 Dear Friends

I am working with a Manufacturing unit,

and we purchase Frok Lifts for handing the material one place to another within the factory hance we treat it as Plant & machinery.
But as per our Auditors is concerned they advice it is covered under Vehicle and dep charged of Vehicle rate not plant & Machinery.

Fork lift having 4 weels hence it is Vehicle.

But on practical ground it is not a vehicle.

Please advice what is the proper head,
and what is the proper reply for auditors.

28 May 2010 Plant & Machinery means equipment or machinery attached to earth. If fork Lifts is errected with land in the factory, then it will be treated as Plant & Machinery and not a vehicle.

As per Income Tax A/c Rate of depr. is same i.e 15% on Plnt & Machin as well as on Vehicle hence, it can not make any diff. in case of rate of depre.
