Hi, we have spent 2lakhs on tiles, wallpapers, paint and other renovation expenses for our office premises. we are paying 60000pm as rent for the office. I would like to know whether this expenditure for renovating would be capitalized, why or why not? and if yes then how?

I dont think this expense can be capitalised. It is revenue in nature because it is a sought of an upkeep.
it may be taken as capital exp., if major structural changes are made.

Supreme Court in the case of CIT vs. Madras Auto Services Pvt Ltd. [1998] 233 ITR 468 held that expenditure on wall papers, partition wall, marble flooring etc; is not in the nature of capital expenditure.

not exactly major changes are made, but yes a big amount is spend on the interiors of our office. if this amount is to be capitalized then should i consider it as addition to furniture and depreciate as furniture or some thing else?
