Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct method for calculating depreciation on furniture for tax purposes. According to Section 32 of the Income Tax Act, depreciation must be computed on the Written Down Value (WDV) of the asset. This means you apply the depreciation rate to the value of the furniture after deducting any depreciation from previous tax periods, not the original purchase price.

As per Section 32 of Income tax act, it is compulsory to compute depreciation on WDV value. Therefore, consider the 2nd point.
Depreciation calculated 10% on depreciated value
