11 February 2010 Depreciaton rate is 25% in case of Income Tax on All Intangible assets.

However, i have doubt that following assets to be treated as Intangible assets, i think these should be treated as revenue exp.:

1) Customer Relationships
2) Non-Compete
3) Research portion in R&D exp.

Regards!!!

12 February 2010 According to AS-26(Intangible Assets), it is given that :

Research portion should be treated as Indirect Expenses in P&L account.

However, Development portion should be capitalize in value of that asset for which development process is carrying on.

Therefore, if research portion is debiting in P&L so it should be revenue expenditure, whereas, if Development portion is capitalizing then depreciation to be claim on this.
