1.On AS-26, intangible assets, becomes mandatory, an enterprise cannot recognize any expenditure as deferred revenue expenditure. In view of that, the referred expenditure has to be expensed out in the year of occurrence itself. 2. In income tax Act also there are only two types of expenditure, viz., capital expenditure and revenue expenditure. 3.Amortization does not arise in view of the above two observations.
