Judicial Pronouncements
While there are no specific judicial pronouncements directly addressing the issue of depreciation on a car owned by a partner in every jurisdiction, courts generally interpret tax laws and provisions based on the principle of substance over form. Here are a few principles and cases that may guide you:
Substance over Form: Courts often emphasize that the substance of a transaction should prevail over its form. If a car owned by a partner is used substantially for business purposes of the partnership, the partnership may be able to claim depreciation despite the ownership being with the partner.
Business Use Requirement: Various cases have highlighted that for any asset to be eligible for depreciation in a business entity, it must be used for business purposes. Personal use by a partner would generally disqualify the asset from being eligible for depreciation claimed by the partnership.
