15 February 2018 I agree with Mr. Seetharaman.
Property plant and equipment should be recognized at cost. Cost includes purchase price, duties, taxes, handling and delivery charges, installation charges etc. (IAS 16 Para 16 & 17)

All these cost should be added to the cost of the asset rather than treating them as expenses.

You could use IAS 16 (para 16 & 17) as reference.
