14 April 2017 At the time of buying the software , it should be capitalized and subject to depreciation. Later on annual renewal charges should be debited to the expense account.
The accounting entries will be as under:-
At the time of buying the software
Software account( An asset account) Dr
To Bank.
At the time of annual renewal charges
Renewal charges ( an expense account) Dr
To Bank

14 April 2017 Thanks for the info Sir. Please also tell what is rate of depreciation on it
