Quick Summary

Employee uniform expense is treated as staff welfare and is revenue in nature, not capital. No depreciation applies. Stock tracking can be maintained for control, but cost is charged to profit and loss.

Dear Jyoti,

Thank you very much for your reply. I have another query regarding this topic.

Our company have been maintaining stock against the dress code which he provides to his employees. As per my knowledge stock should be maintained against fixed assets. If I am wrong please clarify me regarding this and if it is treated as fixed assets then what is the depreciation rate against this assets? I can't find any fixed asstests block to put this expenses.

Looking forward for your kind co-operation and thanking you again.
