A company is seeking advice on how to account for visitor registration charges paid for an exhibition related to their business. They are unsure if 'rates and taxes' is the correct category. The recommended accounting treatment is to classify this expense under 'Miscellaneous expenses' within the 'Indirect Expenses' group.
1 Some of the officers of a company will be attending the exhibition related to their business.
2 The company is remitting the some specified amount towards visitors registration charges.
3 Under which group, this expense has to be accounted?
4 If the company, accounts the same under "rates and taxes", whether it will be correct or not? If this is not correct, could you suggest the relevant group unde which it could be recognised?
