Depreciation amount eligible for claiming of expenditure deduction from the income earned on such asset. Thus due to the depreciation your actual net profit will decrease by the depreciation amount thus your total income also decreases by the depreciation amount than actual earned income. So tax liability shall be computed on total income amount. So when the depreciation decreases the total income our tax liability also decreases thus depreciation saves the tax.
