Glossary:Depreciation, liberalized
This refers to certain approved methods of computing depreciation allowance for federal and/or state income tax purposes. These methods permit relatively larger depreciation charges during the earlier years, in contrast to the straight-line method, under which the annual charges are the same for each year. This is sometimes referred to as accelerated depreciation (From AGA).
