on a systematic basis over the best estimate of its useful life. There is a

exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use.
Amortisation should commence when the asset is available for use.
Paragraph 56

research is always recognised as an expense when it is incurred (see
paragraph 41). Examples of other expenditure that is recognised as an
expense when it is incurred include:

expenditure is included in the cost of an itemof fixed asset under
