Service life

Years in service. One stated life so far; the band will widen as sources are added.

One source. This value rests on a single document (General depreciation rates (IR265), July 2021, p43). Treat it as that source's figure, not a settled life, until others confirm it.

Basis

• 15.5 years · General depreciation rates (IR265), July 2021, p43 · BDFO “Meters (water)” — Inland Revenue (Te Tari Taake), New Zealand (accounting life)
  Printed page 43. Water meters in a building fit-out. BDFO Building fit-out (when in books separately from building cost). Printed DV 13%, SL 8.5%. Tax depreciation lives set by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue for New Zealand income tax, not engineering or asset-management lives; they are banded and often short (e.g. reticulation piping 25 years). The July 2021 edition was the newest PDF reachable; the online Depreciation Rate Finder may hold later determinations.
