11 October 2012 If we receive tender fees in respect of construction of building on land then what should be the treatment of that tender fees ?
Whether it should be considered as capital receipts and deduct it from the cost of project or it should be treated as revenue receipts and credit into P&L a/c .. ?
Plz guide me.
