Depreciation
Most farmers have filed 'or
will be filing income tax returns
shortly. Because of recent
'changes in the Income Tax Act,
the way in which farmers file
for depreciation allowance is im-
portant. If you have been using
the ',straight line" method for
depreciation, stay• with it on all
assets purchased before Janu-
ary 1, 1972, ,says pofessor G.
Hutchison, Ontario Agricultural
College.

important to
the savings become evioent when
the asset is old. There is no
tax payable on an asset if it
is sold for its V-day value; if
it is sold for more than its'
V-day value, tax is payable at
half the amount as for capital
gains. 'This' will .have con-
siderable effect on a sale of farm
buildings and machinery neit
year or 20 years from now.
With the ',declining balance"
method, such a sale will result
in tax payable, (similar to that
for cattle inconte), on the
difference between sale price and
the undepreciated allowance up to
the original Cost. Anything over
the original cost is subject to
capital gains tax, similar to the
tax applied to the straight 'line'
method.
If a farmer switches to the
declining balance method, the
depreciatiOn rate is usually dou-
bled; however, this high rate is
on the undepreciated portion, not
the original amount. For exam-
ple, a $10,000 tractor deprec iited•
at 15% on 'straight line allows
$1,500 each year. If you claim
full depreciation for 4 years and
then switch to the declining
balance method, the depreciation
base - would be $10,000 - (4x
$1,500) - $4,000. At a 30 per-
cent depreciation rate, the al-
lowancetere. would be $1,200 the first
year and reduce' steadily from
h
Trade-in transactions will
also be affected in a, similar
manner. Suppose 'a new "tractors.,
priced at $6,000 is purchased
with a trade-in allowance of
$2,000. If the old tractore had
been on "straight line", the de-
preciation base would b $6,000
at 30 percent, or $1800 the first
year. However, the same tractor,
on the declining balance method
would have a depreciation base
of (6000 - 2000) $4000., At
30 percent,. there would be' only
a $1200 allowance, a difference
of $600 in the first year alone.
IL your tax returns are filled
out by accountants, 'they may
change your depreciation to the
declining balance method. Once
your straight line assets have
been switched, they are lociced
into the declining balance me-
thod. OnCe your straight line
farmers
assets have been switched, they
, are locked into the declinging
balance method. Keeping two sets
of depreciation schedules will re-
quire a little extra work, but
the rewards justify the time. Ask
to amend your return if you have
already filed using the declining
Mince on assets purchased be-
fore December 31, 1971.
"Finance Minister John
- Turner's prdmise to amend the
tax laws so capital gains tax is
postponed on farms transferred
within the family during the far-
mer's lifetime is a triumph for
farmers," says Gordon Hill,

Mr. Hill,. a Varna hog and
white bean farmer from, Varna,
