Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
| Asset class and depreciation rate | Land and Buildings | | Plant and Machinery | 18% reducing balance | Short Leasehold Properties | | Investment Properties | | Long Leasehold Properties | | Commercial Vehicles | | Fixtures and Fittings | | Equipment | | Motor Cars | 18% reducing balance |
