Office clearance and official destruction acts: How to legally write off old assets?
Why does a company need an official destruction act?
When a company decides to write off fixed assets (such as broken desktop computers, office chairs, shelves), they cannot simply be taken to household trash. Data protection and accounting laws require clear documentation that the asset was truly utilized, not illicitly sold.
Without an official destruction act and utilization certificate, your company faces immediate tax and audit risks.
The danger of random transport firms
Many companies order the cheapest van hoping to get rid of things quickly. The problem arises when this 'cheap' carrier dumps old furniture in a forest or refuses to provide a waste management certificate.
Your accountant is left stranded, and company data (like old document folders and hard drives) might end up in the wrong hands.
