Оновлення основних засобів в Україні: проблеми їх амортизації та використання

Abstract

Two different theoretical concepts of the fixed assets depreciation are characterized: economic and financial ones. It is indicated that in Ukraine in the accounting and tax normative documents the legal concept of economic depreciation is fixed, which is not based on the needs of reproduction. The possibility of introducing a financial concept of depreciation to maximize the use of depreciation resource for the needs of renewal of fixed assets is considered. It is concluded that to develop a mechanism for using the depreciation charges as a source of reproduction, it is necessary to implement the appropriate regulatory and legal regulation.
