Introduction

This feature will allow you to depreciate the fixed assets that you have recorded or imported.

Businesses will usually depreciate their fixed assets for not just accounting but also tax purposes.

For example, this allows businesses to take a tax deduction for the cost of the asset, which will reduce taxable income.
