A depreciating asset that the company holds starts to decline in value from the time the company uses it (or installs it ready for use) for any purpose. However, the company can only claim a deduction for the decline in value to the extent it uses the asset for a taxable purpose, such as for producing assessable income.

Show at B Other depreciating assets first deducted the cost of all depreciating assets (other than intangible depreciating assets) for which the company is claiming a deduction for the decline in value for the first time.

If the company has allocated any assets (other than intangible depreciating assets) with a cost of less than $1,000 to a low-value pool for the income year, also include the cost of those assets at B Other depreciating assets first deducted. Do not reduce the cost for estimated non-taxable use.

For information on decline in value, cost and low-value pools, see the Guide to depreciating assets.

Self-assessment of effective life: For most depreciating assets, you can choose to:

• Work out the effective life yourself (self-assess), or

• Use an effective life determined by the Commissioner.

If you have adopted the Commissioner’s effective life determination for all your depreciating assets, select No at C.

If you have self-assessed the effective life of any of your depreciating assets, select Yes at C.

For information on decline in value, cost and low-value pools, see the Guide to depreciating assets.

Recalculation of effective life: You may recalculate the effective life of assets in certain circumstances if the effective life you have been using is no longer accurate.

There are also circumstances where you must recalculate the effective life of a depreciating asset. See the ATO website for furthere information.

Select Yes or No as appropriate at label D.
