In order to categorize an item as a revenue or capital expenditure, you need to consider following points:
1. Whether the expenditure adds value to existing structure.
2. Whether benefits derived from the said expenditure are accrued over a long period of time.
3. or Whether it just gives benefits for the short term.
If points 1 & 2 are applicable, capitalise. Else treat it as revenue expenditure.
