Dear All Respected Members,

Hope all of you will be fine with good health and doing well.

Please educate me if we purchase a fire extinguisher for office use for 1year validity which will be refilled for next 1 year, in which account, will it be recorded ? Will it be recorded as current assets or expense ? If it is recorded as current assets, what will be entry on completion of 1 year ?

Thanks in advance for your precious time and efforts to reply this query.

Dear Raja PM Sir,

Thanks for your informative reply.

Please educate me if we record it as fixed assets, will depreciation will charge on it ? If yes then, what will be the rate of depreciation? 

Kind response awaited from Raja PM Sir.

If you dont have to return back the cylinder its a fixed asset. Otherwise itll be stock at hand because there is no asset that you have purchased. However, government compliance suggests that it is mandatory.
