Explanation:
Depreciation on assets is recognized by tax authorities as an expense that a business actually incurs so when the income statement is calculated, depreciation needs to be removed as the expense that it is so that taxes can be calculated on the profit.
Depreciation however, does not take actual cash from the company i.e the company does not actually pay anyone cash for depreciation like most other expenses.
