04 April 2012 Ok thank you.

But i wanted to know one thing.

Is there any definite judgment whether it is a capital or revenue expenditure?

Does it always depend on circumstances of the case?

04 April 2012 It always depends on circumstances of the case. For a normal company, software purchase can be capital expenditure. However, for a software company, it can be revenue expenditure.
Hence, it should be decided in case to case.
