I bought a laptop and a monitor. The two are used together, but the laptop does not necessarily need a monitor. The monitor cost less than 800 euro, the laptop more.
I've heard that monitors are always part of the PC. Do I then have to write this down in the tax return or can I have it calculated in full?
Only if the computer system has been purchased as a whole does it have to be included in the depreciation. A monitor alone falls under a short-lived asset
What are short-lived assets?
if you mean GWG: your answer is nonsense!
A GWG is characterized by the fact that it can be used INDEPENDENTLY. Can a monitor be used independently? NO, as either a PC or laptop is required for this!
But it can also be used on another PC.
And? Still not usable independently!
a monitor is to be activated. Point.
of course someone would know who has tax knowledge!
you are extremely brave to provide answers here with your non-existent tax knowledge!
I would write off the laptop. And since the monitor can't be used independently, I would say it "follows the main apartment" here, so the laptop and write it off for just as long
