Hi all!
We are a ERP software development company started a year ago.We have now developed our base model.In this connection I would like to know as to how i should arrive at the product cost and how i should amortise the same over future years or whether i can expense the entire cost incurred for developing the ERP product as expenditure and write it off to the profit and loss account.
Kindly help me out with relevant provisions as per Co's Act and IT Act.

THIS ALSO ANSWERS YOUR QUERY ON PRODUCT COSTING.
THE OPTIONS ARE OPEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE.
