Doubt about type of loss

loss on sale of fixed asset what type loss it and if it is gain what type of gain it is(revenue or capital)

Replies (3)

Its a capital gain...or loss...

if u are asking under purview income tax...its either short term cap gains or long term cap gains based on the period of holding of the asset...

if u r asking as to accounting...u can credit profit and loss a/c...

wait for an expert to reply though

but many of them told that in profit and loss we only charge revenue income and expenditure

 

I MIGHT BE WRONG !!

a. Any accounting standard does not say that u have to debit/credit revenue exp/incomes to profit and loss a/c

b. At year end, u will distribute dividen from only Profit and loss a/c...dont u think profit or loss from sale of fixed asset should be divided too ?

c. In income tax, Mostly Revenue expenditure is allowed as deduction...(there are some exceptions ofc)
