Alabama does not have a depreciation schedule for property tax. Personal property depreciation is estimated by the use of a remaining value of percent good and is derived from a composite factor. Personal property tax is calculated as follows:
Market value (original cost * composite factor) * 20% * millage rate.
See Composite Factor.
The economic life for manufacturing equipment depends on the business activity (8-20 year life), except for tools, dies and molds which have a three (3) year economic life. Nonmanufacturing equipment has a 10-year economic life, except for computers which have a three (3) year economic life. The economic life of manufacturing equipment is determined based on the business activity. The economic life for manufacturing equipment used in the manufacture of metal products is 12 and the economic life for manufacturing equipment used in a machine shop is 10.
