Q. > Please Help: Can Depreciation be claimed as Direct expenses
One of my client is having business of Giving vehicle on Hire. Can he claim depreciation under direct expenses or he have to claim as indirect exp. As Depreciation amount is very big and will impact ratios.

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.

It purely Indirect.
