50 IAC 4.2-4-4 Adjustments to cost

Sec. 4. (a) The adjusted costs of the assessable depreciable personal property as computed in subsection (d) must be reported at the tax basis of such property as defined in the Internal Revenue Code unadjusted by Sections 167 (depreciation) and 179 (expense deduction) of that Code or any credits (such as investment tax credit) that diminished the cost basis of the property. Therefore, if the tax basis of the taxpayer's assessable depreciable personal property is different than the cost per books of such property, except for the depreciable personal property defined and required to be reported by section 3 of this rule, an adjustment must be made to the cost per books of the assessable depreciable personal property reported on the Indiana property tax return. (b) The adjustment from book to tax basis must be computed on Form 106 (50 IAC 4.2-2-9) and shown in the taxpayer's return on line 2 of Form 103 - Long Form (50 IAC 4.2-2-9), Schedule A. (c) The adjustment is required to be made regardless of whether it is an increase or decrease of the cost per books. (d) The adjusted cost of depreciable personal property is the resultant amount obtained by adjusting the cost per books, as defined in section 2 of this rule (cost per books), 50 IAC 4.2-11.1-3 (air pollution control system), and 50 IAC 4.2-11.1-4 (industrial waste control facility).
