‑1 What this Division is about
You can deduct an amount equal to the decline in value of a depreciating asset (an asset that has a limited effective life and that is reasonably expected to decline in value over the time it is used) that you hold. That decline is generally measured by reference to the effective life of the asset. You can also deduct amounts for certain other capital expenditure.
