In case of Company if additonal depreciation is not claimed in the current year but is claimed in the next year. i.e., if 100 is the cost of the asset and the addtional dep is 10 in current year which is not cliamed. What would be the WDV for the next year? will it be100 or 90?

Additional Depreciation as per Section 32(2)(iia) is provided one time on the actual cost of the asset and not WDV @ 20%.

According to me additional depreciation should not be deducted from Actual cost or WDV as the case may be. It is because additional depreciation is above 100% value of the asset. So it should not be considered as normal depreciation and should not be reduced from WDV.

Correct..!!!!.Since as per the Proviso to sec 32..Depreciation is to be deemed as provided in the books even if the same has not been claimed by the assessee.

However..the issue is... if the Proviso applies in case of Additional Depreciation as well..!!!!

I would like to correct myself. As per Section 43(6)(b) WDV means the actual cost to the assessee less all depreaciation actually allowed to him under Income Tax Act, 1961.

As in this all depreciation is mentioned so the WDV should be reduced by the additional depreciation amount also.

ADDITIONAL DEPRECIATION CAN BE CLAIMED IF THE ASSESSE IS INVOLVED IN THE BUSINESS OF PRODUCTION AND MANUFACTURING OF ANY ARTICLE OR GOODS OTHER THEN THOSE SPECIFIED UNDER SCHEDULE 11 AND IT CAN ONLY BE CLAIMED IF A NEW PLANT AND MACHINERY IS PURCHASED AFTER 31/03/2005.

AN ADDITIONAL DEPRECAITION WOULD BE ALLOWED @ 20% ON THE ACTUAL COST OF THE PLANT AND MACHINERY AND @ 10% IF THE ASSET IS PUT TO USE FOR LESS THEN 180 DAYS(IN THE YEAR OF PURCHASE)
