Depreciation on windmill.

Deepak

the depreciation rate for windmill is 80% as per IT Act and you can claim the additional depreciation on a newly purchased windmill.

If more than 180 days then 20% additional depreciation can be claimed

and if less than 180 days than 10% additional depreciaiton can be claimed

Agreed with rahul :) 80%  will be the rate of deprecialtion and yes u can also claim additional depreciation whether, setting up of windmills is in connection with the main business activity of the Taxpayer or not ......u can refer to ruling of the Madras High Court (HC) in the case of CIT v M/s Hi Tech Arai Limited (Taxpayer) [Tax Case (Appeal) Nos. 670 and 671 of 2009] on the issue of allowability of additional depreciation on newly set-up windmills

thanks :)

Hi, Rahul and Sanjay thanks for passing the info to me, but u left one of my question whether all the components of the windmill can be charged at the depreciation as applicable to Windmill or separate rate can be applied to the parts such as : Transformer, Tower, Blade, Civil Structure and other Electrical Works?

80% is allowed only if it is part of windmill where the asset has its separate identity it must be added to block according to its rates 

As Wind - Mill is an power generating equipment.......SLM can also be followed........

Mr. Rahul is very right in answering this query. We have set up Wind Mill @ bellary and claimed 80% depreciation as IT Act and also additional depreciation.

80 % .....(IT Act)
