depreciation and amortisation
Explanation:
depreciation is charged on tangible assets (e.g., property, plant and equitpment) while amoritsation is charged on intanbible assets (e.g., copyrights, licences, formation costs). Unless you know what the underlying asset is that is being depreciated/amortised, you should use both terms.
