Preliminary expenses can be claimed over 5 years in equal installments from the year of revenue generation

Can we claim it 100%, and how do we claim, under which section of ITR3
Do I need to record those expenses in current ITRs
Need professional help in this regard , to review previous and current ITR (current AY) to accordingly plan

You can't claim 100% of preliminary expenses ..Even if it shown in accounts, only 1/5 is allowed for Income Tax Purposes

ok thanks ,  

how about if i show these costs in current ay.....with noo revenue....can it be feasible and ok to do that

Is revenue generation started ?

No yet, expected in next FY

But you can't claim entire expense in one FY

ok, lets say i had costing of around 200000 in FY 2020-21, and no revenue.

 

In ITR of FY2020-21 (AY2021-22), Can I show that as proprietor business/profession with zero revenue and actual costs, which will be considered as loss to business and could be carried forward in next FY to be setoff with revenue in later years

it means real time reporting of costs in the same year when the cost incurred

 

Preliminary expenses has seperate rules
