How is depreciation handled for company transfers?

When you transfer an asset from one company to another, depreciation values are distributed as follows:

  • The From company will retain the year-to-date and life-to-date depreciation for the asset through the prior period expense.

  • The To company will receive the current period depreciation and depreciation expense for all future periods.

  • The asset cost and accumulated depreciation are transferred to the To company.
