    Depreciation helps you to recover some of the cost of assets purchased and used in business by taking a portion of the assets cost as a tax deduction. Depreciation deductions lower the taxable amount of income (net income) that a company will report and pay tax on, it also provides a basis for determining a gain or loss on the sale of assets.
