Landloard (Vendor) Charge me Penality if any installment is delayed.They also billed to me Possession Fee, Electricty Charges & Developement Charges once the plot payment made in full (Usually after 3Years). I'm preparing my financial Statement itslef and Please guide me about its accounting treatment , are these charges included in Cost of Sales A/c or Expense A/c ? An early response would be highly appreciated.

All these expenses needs to be included in the cost of the asset since it is incurred during the period of construction.
