14 March 2013 If newly purchased software then it is intangible fixed asset. In case you paying annual renewal fee of software then it is expenditure.
However according to the companies act any fixed asset which is purchased during the year with the cost of Rs.5,000 or less then such amount can be full written of to the Profit and loss account as depreciation in the year of purchase(i.e 100% depreciation allowable) i.e indirectly it would be treating it as expenditure.
