TaxTim says: 29 October 2015 at 11:55 You need to apportion the wear and tear (also called Depreciation) and claim up until the date the equipment was stolen (i.e for the 2015 Tax Return, you can claim wear and tear from 1 March 2014 - 30 September 2014). You cannot claim for the period it is not in your possession. If you have bought a new computer, you can claim wear and tear based on it's replacement cost. Please use our Wear and Tear Calculator to ensure you are using the correct write-off period. |
