Depreciation: How Incorrect Decisions Affect Your Tax Position

Depreciation is often treated as a purely technical accounting matter, but it has a direct impact on a company’s tax base.

Companies can:

  • choose depreciation rates,
  • determine methods of calculation,
  • influence the timing of cost recognition.

Mistakes occur when:

  • inappropriate rates are applied,
  • assets are incorrectly classified,
  • accounting treatment is not aligned with tax rules.

This may result in:

  • higher or lower tax liabilities than expected,
  • later corrections,
  • increased audit risk.

➡️ Important: Depreciation is not just an accounting decision — it is also a tax strategy.
