06 September 2011 Huge payment has been made to regulatory authority of a country for getting approval of a product to be sold in that country. This approval is towards getting approval of the product and also towards marketing the product in that country. This expenditure is incurred on every product the company intends to sell in the other country. Only after such approval the product can be sold on that country. Each Product has a life spam though the approval is for a lifetime. How should such Expenditure be treated.

1. Is it a Capital Expenditure or Revenue Exp?

2. If capital expenditure, will be an intangible asset?

3. If asset then shall it amortized over the life of the product
