19 November 2013 As per AS-26 issued by ICAI, expenditure on Trademark can be recognised as an asset if the trademark can endure future econimic benefits to the Company.

Here, the actual expenditure incurred may be capitalised, i.e Application fees, professional fees, reimbursement of expenses to professional etc.

The entire epxnditure incurred is taken and no percentage/ arbitary basis can be followed.
