Dear,

 

The best practise is to write off the preliminary expense in the first year of operation.

 

However, It should be decided by the management as to whether it should be written off in the first year or to be deferred and amortised, since, management may have certain reservations that it should avoid to expense out in the first year or situation may also be contrary. Normally, Expending out a huge sum in the first year of operation could negatively effect the profitability at the outset, which might be against the plans of the management.

 

Contrary to the aforesaid, income tax law specifies and allows to amortised the same over the period of 5 years.

 

I hope you have been replied.

Best Regards,

Desperado.

But Sir, it is as per Companies Act know.
