hi, A Pvt Ltd company made a huge advertisement exp to promote its new branch. it treated it as deferred revenue expenditure in books of accounts for a period of three years. but for the purpose of Income Tax it treated it as revenue exp in one year.. is this allowable in INCOME TAX ACT as we as COMPANY ACT

Since the benefit of the advertisement is not related to one year you can spread it over a period of 3 years and accordingly you can capitalise as deferred revenue expenditure which will appear on the debit side of the balance sheet under the head miscellaneous expenses not written off.
