Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to handle depreciation and calculate the Written Down Value (WDV) for a business vehicle purchased in 2016 and sold recently. The user needs guidance on whether to charge five years of depreciation retroactively in the current year's profit and loss account, or to calculate the profit/loss on the sale without accounting for past depreciation. Advice suggests charging depreciation from the initial purchase date.

Since you did not charge it at all, charge it from the beginning.
