Amortización de un activo a un ritmo superior al normal. En algunos casos (por ejemplo, máquinas de proceso de datos) se puede conseguir que la amortización sea fiscalmente deducible a pesar de hacerse en un plazo inferior al habitual. Los métodos más usuales son el de un porcentaje fijo sobre lo que queda por amortizar y el de la suma de los dígitos de los años. A efectos fiscales y para incentivar la inversión, la Administración puede autorizar amortizaciones aceleradas para los bienes comprados durante un período o lugar determinado (por ejemplo, en España durante 1993 y 1994 o en Sevilla durante la Exposición Universal). 3, record 1, Spanish, - amortizaci%C3%B3n%20acelerada
