Depreciation at 100% can be claimed on the LP gas cylinders fitted to the chassis of transport vehicles

April 28, 2011 7811 Views 0 comment Print

CIT Vs M/s Anantha Gas Suppliers (Andhra Pradesh High Court) In the absence of any ambiguity, we have to take into consideration the plain language of the statutory provision and the obvious intention of the Legislature in using such a plain language. The Legislature merely said ‘gas cylinders including valves and regulators’, it has not spelt out any qualification as to the size of the gas cylinder so as to entitle to claim depreciation @ 100%. The decisive factor being the language employed in the statutory provision, we are unable to accede to the view that on account of the container which is in fact a cylinder being mounted on the chassis of the truck, the entire item has to be treated as transport vehicle for which the depreciation can be claimed at 40%.
