As 16 under financial reporting

This query is : Resolved 

11 October 2014 Interest related to purchase of machinery and interest related to advance paid to supplier for purchase of truck, to be debited to profit n loss account or to be capitalised?

11 October 2014 Hi,

As per the AS-16/IAS 23, scope for capitalization of interest is allowed if the asset is "qualifying assets".

A qualifying asset is an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. [IAS 23.5] That could
be property, plant, and equipment and investment property during the construction period, intangible assets during the development
period, or "made-to-order" inventories. [IAS 23.6]

Conclusion - In your case, truck is ready to use asset and therefore its not qualifying asset. So, the interest should be debited to PL account.


Thanks,
CA. Sanjeev Kumar
