Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies depreciation rules under the Companies Act, particularly concerning assets sold in 2021 using the SLM basis. It addresses whether the WDV becomes nil when an asset is sold and the implications for residual and salvage values. The key takeaway is that if SLM and WDV rates differ, a residual value may remain. Depreciation isn't claimed if an asset is held for sale, but retirement implies full depreciation and potential deferred tax.

This philosophy cant be accepted as a thumb of rule. If WDV rates and SLM rates of depreciation differ, residual value will be left. Regarding the timing of claiming your depreciation, when the asset is held for sale, if is not depreciated. But if the asset is retired, it means its fully depreciated and the deferred tax can arise. This salvage value has nothing to do with claiming depreciation
