Limit

Voluntary amortization

Applicable to the above costs 1 to 5

-   Any amount amortizable for a fiscal year up to the expenditure amount

-   Limit = Value of asset – Accumulated (deducted) amortization

Equal amount amortization

Applicable to 6

-   Same amount amortized for every fiscal year

-   Limit = Value of asset x No. of months of FY / No. of months during which the effects of expenditure last

Small deferred assets

A deferred asset of less than JPY200,000 can be fully written off for the fiscal year of expenditure if the amount is recognized as an expense for accounting purposes for that fiscal year
