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.

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.

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 - India

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.

Asset value for Calculation of Tax Depreciation

We have been told that many of the assets created as of 1/1/2008 have a different (lower) tax value than their beginning book value. Book value is correct for standard book depreciation.     Is there a process to update the tax value of assets created in SAP similar to the transaction AS92 used to update values for Converted Assets?
It was suggested that we use the method of Unplanned Depreciation tcode ABAA with TTY 642/652 to change the tax value of the asset. When I tested this I found the various tax depreciation methods were calculated based on the beginning book value for year 1 and not using taking the special depreciation into consideration until subsequent years.   This is using Depreciation Area 10, MACRS, Dep. Key M200.
Is there a better method of altering asset book value for tax purposes or a better way to alter the tax depreciation calculation so it takes Unplanned Depreciation into consideration during year 1?
Current simplified tax depreciation example:
Beg. BV $1,000
unplanned dep posted $100
tax depreciation for year 1 $100
tax depreciation for years 2-10 $88.88
The preferred depreciation is $90 years 1 - 10.
Thanks for your assistance,
Jeff

I think I had the cart before the horse on this problem. The correct way to look at this is what is the best way to get the correct "Net Book Value" and not the correct tax depreciation posting as it never actually gets booked.
By knowing the incorrect Beginning BV, the rate depreciation is applied in year 1 and finally the desired Net BV value at the end of year 1 for tax purposes I am able to calculate the correct Unplanned Depreciation for tax to make everything work out correctly.
correct beginning tax BV $1,200
Beginning Asset Book Value $1,800
depreciation $360 (20% of BV)
Unplanned depreciation $?
Net BV for tax at end of Yr1 $960 ; or 1,200 - (1,200*.2)
With the know values above that makes my unplanned depreciation for Yr 1 to be $480. Year 1 and all following years depreciate correctly after the Unplanned Depreciation is posted.
I am marking this as resolved unless someone sees an error in my thinking.
Thanks,
Jeff

Calculation of Tax Depreciation - India

Hi,
We are following the New GL Accounting setup to our US based client in India.
My Leading Ledger (US) is Jan u2013 Dec and Non-leading Ledger (India) is April u2013 March.
We also created different Fiscal Year variants (Year Dependent) as S1 and IN for both the Co codes.
I have defined and activated Non-leading ledger for India Company code.
All the transactions were posting correctly as per Leading and Non-leading ledgers except Tax Depreciation in Fixed Assets.
I was able to post correct depreciation for India Company Act Depreciation area with a stated percentage. But the Tax depreciation area calculation is incorrect.
Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area as below:
For Acquires & Additions:
Rule1: If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
Rule2:
If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.
I already copied India standard setting IT & NL to my fiscal year variant in Calender assignments of Period controls. But when I tried to post the Tax Depreciation in the month of March as per Non-leading ledger, the system is calculating full Depreciation as per Rule1 instead of 50% of stated Percentage in Rule2.
Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area as per above requirement. I have been working on this since one week. Please help me.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
JBC

I am not sure if this work.. but give it a try.
In your multi-level method line 1 put Acq yr = 9999, Year = 999, Per = 6, Percent = 50
line 2 put Acq yr = 9999, Year = 999, Per = 12, Percent = 10
Now what i dont understand from your question is that is this rule for the first acquisition year only?
If so, also try with Acq yr = 9999, Year = 1 (so only the first acq yr will get calculated based on the percentage).
Try this in your sandbox and let me know if it works or not!!

Depreciation calculation for Indian Tax Depreciation Area - Fixed Assets

Calculation of Tax Depreciation

can u tell me How Can we calculate Tax Depreciation with out posting in Financial Records...for Income Tax Purpose....plz give me the configuration steps
and also how can we show in reports,,....
Thanks in Advance....
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
I have set up a new depreciation are for tax reason you have to do the following steps:
V_T093C_08 Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year
(Take over date, last day of the last fiscal year)
VC_T093U03 Specify Sequence of Depreciation Areas Set-up area 67
(plase the new depreciation area on top)
VC_ANKB_01 Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class
(Assign new depreciation area to asset classes wirh default values
V_TABWA Define Transaction Types for Acquisitions
( Created transaction type to make a acquisition posting in only the new depreciation area)
V_T093_00 Define Depreciation Areas
(created new depreciation Area)
To run AFBN - New Depreciation Area to ad the new depreciation area's to the existing assets
I created 2 LSMW's
1. To up-date the assets from last year with the correct depreciation key, depreciation start date (when you chage this you have to change exp. UL live to blanc, SAP recalculate this) Do this upload not for deactivated assets this year. (the first collum is than not the new depr area in AS92
2. To uplad the acquisition value for the Capitalized assets this year (using the new tranaction type to post only in the new area) transaction ABSO.
The best is to test this first and to do year-end closing for this year.

Change in start date of tax depreciation not for posting in mid of year

Hi Experts,
Tax depreciation area is not for posting. The fiscal year is from Jan to Dec. I want to calculate tax depreciation from May 2011 based on Net Book Value of tax depreciation as on 30.04.2011. But once I change the start date of tax depreciation in asset master to 01.05.2011, the system ignores the previous depreciation so I am not getting the NBV of tax depreciation of 30.04.2011.
Is any setting is required to get this. I can not do changes in posting rules since this tax depreciation is not for posting any thing.
The fiscal year 2010 is closed and NBV of tax depreciation as on 31.12.2010 of one asset is 80000, If I change the start date of tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 then system correcly take NBV of 31.12.2010 for further depreciation calculation. But if i change the start date of depreciation in between of year the system is calculating depreciation based on NBV of 31.12.2010 but ignores the tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 to 30.04.2011, which I previously run using AFAB.
Need your assistance to know is it feasible to do this.
Thanks and Regards,
Harshad

Hi Harshad
The behaviour of the system is very much correct, it is designed to behave that way...
One, you should not have changed the dep start date....
two, NBV in SAP is always taken to be NBV @ the start of the year....
The best wayout I can suggest here is, if you are on EhP4 and EA-FIN active
a. Change the Dep Key in the asset... You can maintain Time Dependant Dep Terms in asset master i.e. Dep Key X from Jan-Apr and Dep Key Y from MAy onwards
b. This will however, calculate dep based on NBV at the start of the year, but based on new useful life
c. Considering your eg: The system is posting more depreciation i.e. 5333 instead of 5155.... So, calculate this amount outside the system and post a Manual Write up ABZU inorder to reduce the Dep and increase the NBV
Even if you are on not on EhP4, you can follow the same approach as above.... i.e.
a. Change the Dep Key in asset master.... This will throw up new dep figure, on the basis of New Useful life and NBV at the start of the year
b. Post a write up from ABZU....
No need to do Asset to asset transfer in my opinion
Only diff between EhP4 and Non EhP4 is that the differential depreciation would be lesser if you are on EhP4... i.e. instead of 5333 now, system may throw up depreciation amount of 5666.. So, you may need to post write up of 5666-5155

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.

Tax Depreciation

Greetings All,
My client has a lean asset implementation. They calculate book depreciation "01" with standard depreciation key "LINA". This amount is posted to GL.
Now the requirement is to enable in SAP calculation of tax depreciation for all assets. This amount is not to be posted to GL in any form and is for internal reporting purposes only.
How to enable this functionality?
Thanks much,
Rajiv

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
