Ms office license purchased..capitalized or expense out???

Hi,

Since it is packaged software you can expense off in same year.

Thanks//VaibhaJ

Dear Ajay sir,

the same would be included in Computer software and eligible for 60% depreciation for the year, as its a computer program for the assessee.

But Nitesh sir, after reading 4th and 5th point of the case referred by you, it could be interpreted that the treatment for the same depends on the case to case basis. If the expenditure is on customized asset i.e. MS office is customized according to the need of the assessee, then the same could be treated as capital asset and dep. would be charged on the same... and i took that the query in this case is in regards to customized MS office only, as asked that "the company purchased license for MS office", which one normally interprets that for being used in customizing... otherwise why one will purchase license for that..

Dear Lovely arora sir
In my view , Licensed Office software doesn't mean a customised  Software.
