Quick Summary
For a manufacturing unit maintaining its books, the Written Down Value (WDV) method is often considered the best depreciation approach under the Companies Act. This method offers significant tax benefits by allowing higher depreciation in the initial years, making it ideal for assets that rapidly lose value. It also provides a straightforward way to calculate an asset's depreciated value for potential sale.
The written down Value Method helps determine the asset’s depreciated value, which helps determine the price at which the asset should be sold. It applies a higher amount of depreciation in the initial years of the asset’s useful life. It is an ideal method to record the depreciation of assets, which lose their value quickly.
