Hello,

I have purchased a computer for 1500 Euro, my accountant told me that it should depreciate over a period of 4 years.

I entered the item in Fixed assets and added depreciation of 25%.

I was expecting to see this depreciation added to my profit and loss for year 2021 but nothing shows up, any idea why please?

Thank you.

Ben
