In case the enterprise changes the time of depreciation of fixed assets in contravention of regulations, the Ministry of Finance and the tax office directly managing the enterprise shall request the enterprise to re-determine it strictly according to regulations.
Fourth, in case there are impact factors (such as upgrading or dismantling one or some parts of fixed assets) in order to extend or shorten the previously determined use time of the fixed assets specified
Enterprises shall re-determine the time of depreciation of fixed assets according to the above three criteria at the time of completion of arising operations, and at the same time make a record stating the bases for changing the time of deduction. depreciation, submit to competent authorities for decision according to regulations.
