Please clarify, if he is providing asset on Operating Lease or Finance Lease. In case of Finance lease no depreciation can be expense off, being vehicles not to be capitalized, where as in case of Operating lease, depreciation can be claimed as operating expense, being directly pertaining to the business.

as per my view- your business there is no trading P & L in your case it is Income and Expenditure account will come so there is G P Ration all the expenses concerned to your business is expenditure only and NP ration comes , there by there is no discrimination of Direct and Indirect Expenses................ and if you treated as Direct or Indirect - depreciation is Indirect expenses because Rate of depreciation is fixed and on the basis of ware and tare, time factors its not change on the basis of your business capacity and you cannot identify the depreciation concerned to each transaction of operation which associate. It purely Indirect.
