10 April 2019 Yes the same can be treated as preliminary expenses or can be capitalised with a particular asset if we can identify the particular asset for which the expenditure was carried out.

After the commencement of business, the preliminary expenses can be written off over the next five years under the income tax act. However under accounting terms the entire amount will be treated as an expenses in the said year of commencement of business.

The said 1/5th of the expenditure will be allowed as an admissible expenses u/s 35AD of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

10 April 2019 If the salary has been paid towards developing the computer application meant for in-house use , then transfer the expenses to computer application account. Pl refer AS 26 -Intangible Assets.

10 April 2019 we are LLP & not company It team has developed one application like flipkart available in market then how to treat salary of oct & nov month?
our LLP has incorporated on 01.12.2018 but i want to know about salary of oct & nov month?

10 April 2019 You may transfer the same to Software A/c and claim depreciation at the applicable rate.
