my client developped a website during year 2011-12. as his main revenue generation is wholy from this website, he will start earning revenue from the middle of 2012-13. my query is whether said website development cost is a revenue or capital in nature in 2011-12. if it is a capital , under which it should be grouped i.e. software or intangible assets.
