Specific amortization and land share calculations when installing a file
The software performs automated calculations on the calculation of land quota and depreciation.
The land share calculated is based on the price per m² at the time the rented building became an asset on the declarant's balance sheet.
The land share calculation is carried out as follows and is deemed accepted by the user: Share of 10% for a property with a price per m² of less than 4000€. Land share of 15% for a price per m² between 4001 and €6,000, 20% for a price per m² between €6001 and €8001, 25% for a price per m² between 8001 and €10,000, 30% for a price per m² between €10001 and €12,000, 30% for a price per m² between €10001 and €12,000, 35% for a price per m² between €10,000 and €12,000, 35% for a price per m² between €10,000 and €12,000, and 40% for a price per m² strictly greater than €14,000.
The calculation of the depreciation of the building by component is carried out as follows and is deemed accepted by the user: the building represents the value of the rented building at the time it became an asset on the balance sheet, less the land share calculated above. Depreciation is divided into the following 4 components: Structural work represents 50% of the building and is amortized over 50 years, the facade-roof represents 20% of the building and is amortized over 20 years, technical installations represent 20% of the building and amortized over 15 years, the layout represents 10% of the building and is amortized over 5 years. The depreciable amounts communicated relating to furniture are amortized over 5 years and the depreciable amounts communicated relating to the work are amortized over 10 years unless otherwise specified.
These depreciation rules follow the recommendations of BOFIP. During an accounting recovery, the components are taken back as installed by the previous tax provider, subject to their legality.
