It is true in some cases only .
If tou write off the entire amount of expenditure to P/L in subsequent year(as in case of depreciation ) then it is true.
For example assets repaired (reveuue expenditure) Rs. 5000 added to cost of assets treating ait capital exenditure. In subsequent yera if you transfer the amount as depreciation the ultimate effect will be NIl . But if the assets is sold suring the period or some capital exp. not charged to P/l then the statement will noit hold good.
