What you will learn

What you learn.

  • The aim of the course is for participants to gain an understanding of how properties can be divided into components when applying the component depreciation rules. The course takes the K3 framework as its starting point. In addition, the course aims to create an understanding of where the line is drawn between maintenance cost and investment. Participants will also gain an understanding of how a transition can be made from accounts prepared under rules that do not require component depreciation to rules that do.
