Is Depreciation A Cash Expense? - Tax and Accounting Coach

Is Depreciation A Cash Expense? In this informative video, we will clarify the concept of depreciation and its role in accounting. We will define depreciation, explaining how it allocates the cost of tangible assets over their useful life. You'll learn how businesses account for the wear and tear of equipment and vehicles, allowing them to align asset costs with the revenue generated over time.

We'll highlight why depreciation is classified as a non-cash expense, meaning it does not involve any actual cash leaving the business during the accounting period. Instead, it reflects an accounting entry that impacts the balance sheet and income statement. We will also illustrate this concept with a practical example involving equipment purchase and depreciation methods.

Additionally, we will discuss the implications of depreciation on financial reporting and tax returns, including how it can reduce taxable income. Inflation's effect on depreciation will also be covered, explaining how rising costs can lead to changes in depreciation expenses.
