Understanding Asset Blocks

Asset blocks are required for India tax reporting. According to the Indian Tax Depreciation Act (Indian Income Tax Act 1961), does not recognize depreciation on individual assets. Instead, it groups similar pools of assets under the concept of a tax block. There are only four blocks of assets prescribed under the act:

• Buildings.

• Furniture and fixtures.

• Machinery and plants.

• Intangibles.

Annual tax depreciation is reported to the India tax authority per tax block, per fiscal year. The PeopleSoft system uses the asset block to maintain tax block definitions for India.
