Assets Capitalisation and Depreciation

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If a contractor leaves work unfinished and you hire a new one, you can still capitalise assets and claim depreciation, even without the original contractor's bills. You'll need to create a liability in your accounts based on the work done and contract terms. The income tax authority won't determine the value; you must establish it based on the execution of work and contractual agreements.

How the Income Tax Authority determine the Value. Loan was directly disbursed to Work Contractor. He has not Paid GST and not raised any Bill. What Cost has to be taken in books of Account. What will be the Value of Costing?

You have to create liability in the books of accounts based on work execution and contract terms and capitalise in the books of accounts.
