Config of Group assets - Tax Depreciation Calculation : India

Dear Seniors,
can you please explain the configuration of the Group assets and how exactly the tax depreciation calculation in India happens for the individual assets with scheme of entries.
Thanks and Regards
Sathish

Hi,
In India, depreciation on assets for the purpose of computation of net income as per the Income Tax (IT) Act 1961 is calculated over a block of assets instead of individual assets as allowed under the Companies Act 1956. Asset acquisitions and retirements are managed over the block level. The IT Act prescribes certain rates of depreciation to be used under the Written down Value (WDV) method over these asset blocks to compute depreciation.
The following are the customization settings that may be followed in the R/3 system in order to manage your assets in the income tax depreciation area.
1. Copy the standard chart of depreciation 0IN as provided by SAP and create your own chart of depreciation.
2. Use the depreciation area 15 for the purpose of management of assets under the IT Act. Make it statistical in nature. (Reference Transaction Code: OADB). Do not check the box negative net book value.
3. Specify that the Income Tax depreciation area takes over the APC from the book but not make it identical (Reference Transaction Code: OABC).
4. Create an asset class for the purpose of income tax blocks. This asset class will be used to create only group assets. (Reference Transaction Code: OAOA)
5. Specify that the depreciation area for income tax can be managed only for group assets. (Reference Transaction Code: OAYM). This would mean that depreciation for this depreciation area would be computed only at group asset level.
6. Specify that the asset class defined in (b) above will be used for creating group assets only. (Reference Transaction Code: OAAX)
7. Two period control methods (IT and NL) have been defined in the system for determination of start or the end of depreciation calculation at the time of a fixed asset acquisition or retirement. You may use these period control methods while creating the depreciation keys for the purpose of IT depreciation.
Calendar assignments have been made for the above mentioned period control methods in order to reflect valuation requirements as per the Income Tax Act (Transaction Code: OAVH). You may create your own period control methods depending on the fiscal year variant you use. The period control methods supplied are based on the fiscal year variant V3.
8. Depreciation Keys: The following depreciation keys have been created in the system. They correspond to the income tax blocks that are prescribed under Indian tax laws. They are as below:
Depreciation Keys:
1. IN1 - Tax Depreciation - 5% -
I Hope it will give you some basic guidance.

Tax depreciation calculation - India

Hi,
For calculating Tax depreciation for India, we use group assets in asset master (dep area 15).
SAP standard report J1IQ is obsolete and can not be used.
How to calculate tax depreciation for India.
Requirement for India tax depreciation is :
An asset is put to use < 180 days, depreciation will be 50% of the depreciation rate for that asset (say dep rate is 15%, depreciation will be 7.5% of the asset value.
If asset is put to use > 180 days, depreciation will be 100% of the depreciation rate for that asset (say dep rate is 15%, depreciation will be 15% of the asset value).
J1IQ is obsolete.
Most of the consultants are facing this problem.
What is the solution???????????

Group Assets IT - Depreciation

Hi All,
I am calculating Depreciation on Assets based on Income tax act of India.
Based on this the assets purchased less than 180 days should 50% depreciation charged.
this is running fine when I calculate the depreciation on Individual Assets.
But Client request for Groups Assets, So I assigned the Groups assets.
In case of Groups Assets. Depreciation for the assets less than 180 days also it is calculating the 100 % Dep.
Any one know how to solve this. Is there any settings needs to be change?
Thanks

Link-Group Asset Class, Depreciation Area & Depreciation Key

Dear Experts,
I am new to FI-AA Customization & have a basic query about Group Asset Concept.
I am working on Ecc 6.0 & for Country India.
I want to create Group Asset for calculation of Depreciation as per Income Tax Act. Hence there is just one Depreciation Area (for Group Assets) , but the Depreciation keys are different. E.d IN1, IN2 etc. (Country Version India)
Now the questions are :
1) Do we need to create different Asset Class for different Group Assets or to create just 1 Asset Class for all Group Assets.
E.g. I want to calculate Depreciation As per income Tax Act on Gross Block of Building, Furniture & Fixture, Motor Car, Vehicles etc. So I need to create separate Group Asset Class for each one of above or just to create one Group Asset Class.
2) If we need to create just one Asset Class for all Group Assets; how to maintain a Depreciation Key in OAYZ as there are more than 1 Depreciation Keys?
3) is there any other method / functionality to calculate Depreciation as per income Tax Act or Group Asset is the only functionality?
Thanks & Regards,
Reshma

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.
Regards,
Pankaj A Bhalerao.

Issue on asset tax depreciation balances

Dear Experts,
I have a critical issue to be resolved. Someone please guide me.
I want to change the opening balance, current year transactions
accumulated depreciation of year 2008 (Fiscal year variant V3 -
Apr to March) of group assets in tax depreciation area (15) using tcode
AS82. This is required because during data migration in 2006 the
tax dep values for group asset were not entered accurately. With
this the dep calculated was wrong resulting in wrong net bbok value
further wrong carry forward bal in 2007 Apr and so on. My client
now wants atleast correction of year 2008 values so that the future
calculations are right and done by SAP for tax report. What should I do
for this?
What impact would be there if I change Asset Transfer date because
when I go to AS82 to change the takeover values of a group asset in 2008
i get an error msg " Closed fiscal year doesnt agree with legacy data
transfer date" Transfer date is 31.07.2006. This is really critical
and I have been posting this from days but no response. Please help
me experts.Any help would be really appreciated.

Indian Income Tax Depreciation Calculation

Hi
Can any of you please explain/tell me where are the exact SAP configuration settings for the calculation of depreciation calculation as per Indian Income Tax Act by meeting below requirements as per Section 32 of Indian Income Tax Act:
1. If the Asset is being purchased and used in a Financial Year for 180 Days or below 180 Days - Depreciation has to be calculated 50% of Annual Depreciation.
2.If the Asset is being purchased and used in a Financial Year for more than 180 Days - Depreciation has to be calculated 100% of Annual Depreciation.
Waiting for your valuable reply.
Thanks and Regards
P.V.S.R.Gupta

But if I follow your suggestion of taking Period Control Method 04, it would calculate 1/2 Year Depreciaton only
No. If the asset is in use for >180 days, then it's acquisition date must therefore occur in periods 1-6 which will set the depreciation start date to the beginning of the year. This will result in a full year's worth of depreciation.
If the asset is in use for <180 days then the start date is set to mid year which results in only 6 months worth of depreciation to be posted.
All of this can be adjusted per your FYV and on a yearly basis if the FYV is year dependent in the asset period control calendar assignments table.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the statutory requirements of India but I know how FI-AA works and can't think of an alternative solution for you.

Tax Depreciation Calculation for Malaysia

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement to calculate Tax Depreciation for Malaysia with reference to the Capital Allowance.The scenario is like this:
For Asset Class say Office Equipments Initial Allowance is 20% and Annual Allowance is 10%
That means depreciation will be calculated @20% on the acquisition value immediately upon acquisition for one time. Again depreciation @10% per annum will be calculated on the acquisition value for the entire useful life of the asset from the date of acquisition.
Example: Asset is capitalised at MYR 10,000 on 1.1.2010
First Initial Depreciation would be: 20% on 10000= 2000
Annual Depreciation for 2010 would be : 10% on 10000= 1000 and this will be same for next 8 years.
Depreciation Method is SLM
In this case changeover should happen within the year.
Can you please suggest how to create a depreciation key in SAP for this.
Early respponse would be appreciated.
Regards,
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Have you found the solution for this scenario?
Thanks

Tax depreciation calculation requirement

Hi
I am working on tax depreciation area for new roll out project. In this requirement we need to give two allowances in the year of purchase (acquisition) of the asset, one is Initial allowance and another one is yearly allowance. Then subsequence years only yearly allowance. In the last year may be on sold or scrapped there is no allowance.
I am very much comfortable till first year of acquisition and subsequence years with change over method. But I am struggling with the last year, because it is not only on the end of useful life, but also for sales and scrapping in between.
Please help me.
Regards
Padma

Please add standard depreciation area "10" Federal Tax ACRS/MACRS. In OADB, the GL posting indicator should be set to "0".
Make sure this depreciation area is in all asset master records.
Then execute any asset report / depreciation simulation reports to get the depreciation per Federal Tax calculation.
Cheers

Asset tax depreciation transfer

Hi Folks,
My business need is to transfer separate value for tax depreciation than other depreciation areas during intercompany transfers. Is this possible in ABT1N?
If we are transferring an asset with a gross/net or new value method, we do not want the entered revenue or nbv to be taken by tax depreciation area in new asset, we need it to be a different value... how can we achieve this?
Thanks.

You need to use the derived depreciation arera concept of SAP.
You need to create a document type for Periodic posting to dep are tax and need to say in how dep areas are posted as "2" (periodicallly).
Then you need to create a derived depreciation area the number of which should be more than the book and tax dep areas (Assumption is 01 is book 15 is tax then the derived area number should be >15), Use depreciation wizard for creating a derived area. you can give different GL accounts for different dep ares in AO90 for posting.
You do your transactions as per the process and need to execute ASKBN for periodic values to be posted. After that you run AFABN to realise the values differently.
This should siolve your requirements.
Reward if useful.

Current condition is different than group conditon,tax not calculating

Hi,
I am working on a sales order for which tax is not getting calculated.For tax calculation puprose,a third party tool,vertex is being used. When i debug,i found that the RFC function module(which calculates the tax ) is not getting called. The code is written in such a way that the RFC will be called only if if the current condition type is also the group condition type for which all the items are currently being processed, but this condition is not satisfying. Can any one please tell me about the possible causes for this condition failure. I need the sollution badly.

Asset Revaluation: Depreciation calculation not hiting revaluation accounts

Dear All,
I have to revaluate assets. I have done the configuration as follows:
1. Assignment of Balance sheet and Depreciation accounts for revaluation.
2. Configured depreciation key so that it will calculate the depreciation on the replacement values.
3. Selected 'check box' for 'Post Revaluation' in posting rules for my company code.
4. Defined the depreciation area for posting of acquisition and production cost and depreciation.
5. Selected 'All values allowed' for 'revaluation' in required depreciation area (01).
I am posting the revaluation on the asset through transaction 'AB01', after that in the depreciation posting run an accounting document is getting generated for revaluation on APC. The entry is as follows :-
70 Revaluation acquis. and production cost a/c x x x
50 Offsetting a/c revaluation APC x x x
This entry is correct as per the revaluation scenario but, no accounts are getting posted which are assigned in 'Account assignment for revaluation on depreciation' i.e.
1. Revaluation accumulated ordinary depreciation a/c.
2. Offsetting account revaluation ordinary depreciation.
System is not postign values on 'revaluation of depreciation' to these accounts. System is posting the depreciation revaluation amounts to normal depreciation accounts i.e.
1. Expenses a/c for ordinary depreciation.
2.Accumulated depreciation account for ordinary depreciation.
The required 'depreciation revaluation' accounts are not getting posted (in any period depreciation run).
Is there any other revaluation configuration that, I am missing here or is there any other way to post to these two 'revaluation on ord. depreciation accounts.' Can anyone shade light on this problem.

Dear Rohit,
Thank you very much for your reply. I followed the same procedure posted by you. While executing AR29, system is giving following error.
Revaluation data does not agree with date of depreciation posting*
Message no. APERB023
Diagnosis
You want to execute the revaluation posting in period 011/2010. This requires that this period was the last period posted by the depreciation posting run. No other period may be posted after that. The posting run for this period is also not allowed to be still outstanding. According to the log table, the last run posted was 009/2011.
The asset value date of the asset is 01.04.2011 and have to revaluate this asset in current posting perid (9). The fiscal year is from 'Aprl-Mar.
Could you please let me know the following things:
1. Is it necessay to select the checkbox for 'Post automatically' in the offsetting accounts.
2. I have created one transaction type 'Z80', it has an account assignment as 'Debit transction'. The posting type options selected in this transaction type are as follows
a. Post gross --> Yes
b. Do not post to affiliated company --> Yes
3. I should use the same transaction type/configure a new one or use any other std. transaction type in 'AR29'?
4. Is it the case that system takes current date as posting /revaluation date in transaction AR29, because from the error it seems that it is considering the curent date.
5. Which options from the 'control data for posting' should be selected from ' New valuation of an asset' tab page of 'AR29?
a.With depreciation write back.
b. W/out Dep. write vback
6. If i change the inputes in AR29 transaction, system is giving the following error:
''No records were selected''
7. What should be the correct inputs in transaction 'AR29'
Please help.

India Tax Depreciation (group asset)

Hi FICO experts,
    I'm having some problem with depreciation calculation for group assets to adhere to India IT Tax Depreciation regulation. As per IT law,
1. asset acquired <180days shall be depreciated at 1/2 of the depreciation rate for the fiscal year
2. asset acquired >180days shall be depreciated at full rate for the fiscal year
    I've created depreciation key with period control NL and IT, and configure 2 depreciaiton area i.e 01 for book and 02 for tax depreciation in India COD. 02-Tax depreciation is configured as managed at Group asset.
    I created 2 Assets i.e Asset A and Asset B and both linked to Group Asset C. Say the depreciation rate is 15%
1. Asset A - Acquired on P1 of 2008 --> INR10000
2. Asset B - Acquired on P9 of 2008 --> INR10000
   A & B are linked to Group Asset C in 02-Tax depreciation area.
     When I view Group Asset depreciation, I noticed that the deprecition for 2008 computed as (1000015%)+(1000015%). Thus, although Asset B is still being depreciated at full rate of 15% instead of half of the rate.
    Besides, is that normal that I'm not able to see depreciation at Asset A and Asset B in tax depreciation area 02 when they are managed at Group. I can only view the deprecation at Group asset C?
    Appreciate help if anyone have similar experience. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
If you want to adhere Indian IT laws then follow the below mentioned steps:
1. Maintain a relationship of 1:1 of AS01 & AS21, means when you create a new normal asset it should be tagged with a new group asset.
2. Try to use SAP standard delivered dep. keys.
3. Change asset value date determination in SPRO.
4. Tagged group asset into the normal asset master.
5. Check tax dep.figures under group asset.

Issue on migration of tax depreciation balances for group assets

Dear Experts,
My client is using group assets for tax depreciation report India.
The SAP implementation was done in 2006 during the data migration the
client was not clear of the values both individual asset wise and
group asset wise to migrate to tax depreciation area. So the tax
depreciation for some of the assets are migrated with some
(non caluclated) value.
Now the client want to see the tax depreciation group asset wise or if
possible individual asset wise.For this the group asset need to be
created and assigned to each individual asset in the asset master
record.
The fiscal year variant is v3, april to march with 4 quaters June,
Sep, Dec, Mar.
Now when the data migration for the current year come into picture
I can use AS81/AS82 for loading current year opening balance and
accumulated depreciation for all the group of assets as a whole. Or
I can use AS91/AS92 to load balances into tax depreciation of
each asset individually. But I am not sure whether this is correct.
And also what to do with the previous years balances. I am very
confused. Somebody suggest good solution.
When I create a legacy asset or group asset in AS91 and AS81
respectively the fields in the Takeover values screen are grayed
out and do not allow mw to input values. But I am able to enter
values by clicking the button Transactions in the Takeover values
screen and able to enter a value date , transacton type and amount
for tax depreciation area. Here again I am not convinced using 100
transaction type for current year opening balance. I used
transaction type 652(Unplanned tax depreciation on current year
acquisition) for accumulated current year dpereciation upto second
quarter septemeber 2008.
In asset explorer under "Planned values" tab the opening balance
must be visible under Fiscal year start column but it is displayed
under change column as I entered values for tax depreciation area
in AS81 in Transaction screen with asset value date as 01.04.2008
transaction type 100 and amount as xxxxxx and value date 30.09.2008
652 xxxxxxxx.
Need expert guidance on this
