Hi All,

 

Newbie here...............................................new to all this so please be gentle if this seems simple!

 

I know how to depreciate using the various methods but how do I calculate depreciation (Capital Allowance) on a laptop that I only use for 8 hours a week for work and the rest of the time is used for personal use plus a printer used for business just once a month to print a few items?

 

Any guidance would be great at the moment because I have been trying to be logical about it but it is blowing my mind.

 

Thanks

You can only claim capital allowances and depreciation based on the business use.

As far as I am aware, HMRC will accept reasonable apportionment of business/private use

I would say 8 hours is equal to one days business so if you calculate the capital allowance/depreciation based on that you should be ok

Thanks for the reply - that does sound reasonable when you put it like you have.

 

I can work that out no problem but do I calculate the business use percentage on the book value or do I workout the business use percentage from the accepted 20% deduction amount (for 2011/2012 tax year) that the HMRC state you can reduce the item by?
