02 June 2022 Hello All,

I request to clear my doubt on below query:

I have been working for a manufacturing unit, a month back a machinery had undergone repair work, for this we had given this service to a foreign technician from whom we bought this machinery.

We had incurred to and fro flight charges, accommodation and food apart of his service charges.

Kindly advice whether to capitalize these flight, accommodation and food charges to the asset or we can show under revenue expenditure under repair and maintenance.

Please do the needful.

Thanks & regards,
V B Vijay Kumar
