Depreciation Rates for Group reporting Vs statutory audit

1559 views 4 replies

Dear All,

         A Company  ( S co., ) who is reporting to its holding company ( H Ltd ) in China prepares its financial statment in which Fixed assets depreciation is computed as per the policy of the holding company norms as employed in China say for eg 15% on Plant and Machinery . The problem is when we are preparing the statutory accounts of S co., , whether the depreciation rate can be used differently say for eg 10% for the same Plant & Machinery as the schedule VI requires only minimum rate to be followed. Whethe there can be two depreciation for the same asset ?

one has to charge depreciation under the companies act at minimum at the rates specified in the companies act and no extent for maximum. There cannot be dual depreciation for the same asset.

Mr.Praveen shall u please quote where it is mentioned that there cant be dual depreciation for the same asset

if the rates used by H Co. are higher than the Sch. XIV rates, then its ok bcoz these are the minimum prescribed rates for charging depn.

If the rates are lower than S. Co. would need to adopt the Sch XIV rates only. However, S Co. can prepare 2 sets  of  fin. statements, one for Companies Act and another for consolidation purposes.

Which view i can take into account both are giving different views
