Guard dog accounting

1207 views 3 replies

We are planning to purchase a guard dog for our warehouse. I wanted to know how it will be treated in the books. Will it be an allowed expense? Also can we claim ITC on it. And how will the expenses incurred on the dog like insurance, vet, food etc. be treated. And can ITC on those expenses be claimed?

 

Note that the dog will be exclusively used for protection of the warehouse, and not for personal use.

The expenses incurred on the dog, such as food, insurance, and veterinary care, are also considered deductible expenses. However, input tax credit (ITC) cannot be claimed on these expenses.

Thanks for clarifying. And for the purchase of the dog, will it be a revenue expenditure or capital expenditure? Can i capitalise the dog?
