First insurance for the purchase of Fixed Asset is to be capitalised.
Provision for taxation in this regards runs as follows.... anything done before putting the asset into use is to be capitalised or say to be added into actual cost of the asset.
As now a days first insurance is must. It is not open to the purchaser to ignore insurance for vehicle.
As it is an obligation to purhcase the asset same should have been added to the actual cost.
Hence we can say that first insurance is to be added to the cost of the asset and any renewal of such insurance is to be treated as revenue expenditure.
