The local authority may neutralise the depreciation charge for equipment grants paid and the depreciation charge for public buildings, less the amount of the annual write-back of equipment grants received to finance these facilities, by means of an expense in the investment section and a revenue in the operating section.
The local authority makes the annual write-back of equipment grants received and funds allocated to depreciable fixed assets by means of an expense in the investment section and a revenue in the operating section. This write-back in the operating section is carried out at the same rate as the depreciation of the asset for which the subsidy was received and relates to an annual share corresponding to the amount of this subsidy in relation to the depreciation period of the subsidised asset. However, the departmental grant for secondary school equipment and the regional grant for school equipment are written back globally for an amount at most equal to the annual depreciation allowance for all school buildings and equipment.
