Dear All, With regards to depreciation related to office used for business, it seems that depreciation is to be charged. If not the same shall be deemed to be charged and at the time of sale it would be treated as short term capital gain only. Kindly confirm the above contention is correct and whether the above situation can be changed if we show as investment and not fixed assets? Thanks in advance.
