South African Revenue Services (SARS) grants an accelerated depreciation schedule for:

  • Machinery & plant (new or used)
  • Useddirectlyin manufacturing process
  • Brought into use for the first time by the taxpayer
  • For purposes of his trade

Write-off(% of cost claimed as deduction per year)

  • Yr 1: 40%
  • Yr 2: 20%
  • Yr 3: 20%
  • Yr 4: 20%

Please advise how I set up a Free depreciation method (or alternative) to accommodate this requirement in SAGE X3?

    Hi

    You can create a new Free depreciation method similar to this setup:

    Remember to add a new Association-Values under Fixed Assets Tables. (Accounts plan UL and Finance plan on ZREDUCE for instance)

    Once the asset is capitalized you can run the Plan Simulation on the Finance Plan that should show a 40:20:20:20 Depreciation distribution over 4 years:

    Hope this helps.
