Depreciation

Additional depreciation is not allowable on ship and aircrafts as it is not an eligible plant & machinery.

I think Additional depreciation is allowed on Plant and machinery used in Factory  and moreover it should not be a Second Hand machinery......and some other conditions should be satisfied to claim additonal depreciation.....

Any new plant and machinery used in production is eligiible 20% additional depreciation if used for more than 181 days in any previous year and at 10% if it used for less than 181 days.

I Think Vessel May Be Counted as Machinery.....

Dear Friends,

Sec 32(1)(iia) reads as follows-

in the case of any new machinery or plant (other than ships and aircraft), which has been acquired and installed after the 31st day of March, 2005, by an assessee engaged in the business of manufacture or production of any article or thing, a further sum equal to twenty per cent of the actual cost of such machinery or plant shall be allowed as deduction under clause (ii) :

                      Provided that no deduction shall be allowed in respect of—

        (A)   any machinery or plant which, before its installation by the assessee, was used either within or outside India by any other person; or

       (B)   any machinery or plant installed in any office premises or any residential accommodation, including accommodation in the nature of a guest-house; or

       (C)   any office appliances or road transport vehicles; or

       (D)   any machinery or plant, the whole of the actual cost of which is allowed as a deduction (whether by way of depreciation or otherwise) in computing the income chargeable under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession” of any one previous year;]

in the case of any new machinery or plant (other than ships and aircraft),

Further Unlike thecase of companies act where Higher rate of depreciation is prescribed for assets used in multiple shifts we dont have any corresponding provision under Income Tax Act.
