All infrastructure, property, plant and equipment that have a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their estimated useful lives in a manner that reflects the
consumption of their future economic benefits. The exceptions to this rule include assets held for sale, land and investment properties.
Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight line basis at rates that allocate the asset's value, less any estimated residual value, over its estimated useful life. Typical
estimated useful lives for the different asset classes for current and prior years are included in the table below:
Asset
Buildings
Site infrastructure
Leasehold Improvements
Computer equipment
Furniture and fittings
Other plant and equipment
Useful life:
50 years
50 years
Life of lease
4 to 5 years
5 to 15 years
2 to 15 years
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, and adjustments are made where appropriate.
Land and works of art, which are considered to have an indefinite life, are not depreciated. Depreciation is not recognised in respect of these assets because their service
potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period.
