Capital expenditure includes costs incurred on the acquisition of a fixed asset and any subsequent expenditure that increases the earning capacity of an existing fixed asset. You have to capitalize the expense incurred subsequently also provided it is not related to just regular maintenance of the asset. If the expenditure increases the earning capacity of the existing asset go ahead and capitalize it.
