    Note

    1. If you have exited the STS and have more than $15,000 shown at the Depreciation expenses label, you do not need to complete a Capital allowances schedule 2003.
    2. Do not include information in this schedule for any depreciating assets that are subject to the STS capital allowances rules – see the publication The Simplified Tax System: A guide for tax agents and small businesses (NAT 6459–6.2002) for information about the STS capital allowances rules.
