Tax treatment
It was held that share issue expenses are capital for income-tax purposes. As a result, it is not deductible from profits. The only exception can be inferred from a reading of S.35D of the Income Tax Act, dealing with amortising of preliminary expenses. If the issue is made to finance a project, share issue expenditure constitutes preliminary expenditure for the purposes of this section. Therefore, such expenditure, subject to the limits specified under this section, can be amortised over a period of five years commencing from the year in which the project starts generating income.
