Small device

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a small appliance one is unit of relatively low value when new designated. This new value is usually based on the amount up to which the full tax depreciation for " low-value assets " is permitted in the year of acquisition (€ 410 net). Since the 2008 corporate tax reform in Germany has reduced the amount for immediate depreciation to € 150, new rules must be defined.

In addition, a small device must be light, usually transportable by one person.

When calculating construction services, small devices such as hand-held circular saws or hand drills are usually recorded with the tools in the construction site overheads. Compare large device and power device
