The amount of Depreciation allowance of any year which cannot be absorbed due to nonavailability of profits or gains chargeable for that year of such profits or gains being less than the allowance then the allowance or part of the allowance to which effect has not been given is treated as unabsorbed depreciation.
Provision of depreciation is allowance account in which every year fixed amount is put to charged against actual depreciation so that planned income statement can be prepared and profit remains smooth.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is a reduction to the accounts receivable. This is a contra account, similar to accumulated depreciation.
The depreciation rate for accounting may be different than that of taxation. The depreciation as per books of accounts may often be termed as book depreciation while that calculated under tax law is termed as tax depreciation.
Yes.... and no. I guess it depends how you are meaning this, specifically. They are both "contra-asset" accounts, however, they are for different things. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ("ADA") is the estimated amount of your accounts receivable (the money that people owe you) that you suspect will not be paid. Accumulated Depreciation is the total depreciation on your asset (building, equipment, etc. -- NOTE: Land does NOT depreciate.) since you record the asset at its historical cost (the amount you paid for it). So, while both are contra-asset accounts, they have very different uses behind them.
