No in the ifrs you need to do the Impairment test.
Goodwill cant be amortised.. It should be tested for impairment and in the first year whatever be amount is there you need to charge to P/L

Intangibles other than goodwill are required to be amortised in accordance with paras 95-97 of IAS 38.They will also be required to be tested for impairment. However goodwill cannot be amortised but are reqired to be tested for impairment (IFRS 3).

It all depends on the life of the intangible asset. Intangible assets which are of permenant nature are not amortised but tested for impairment. For eg Trading rights in Stock exchanges, patents, player rights in sports etc will not be amortised unless thay are for a limited period.

If any assets have useful life they are amortised according to there useful life and in case of infinite life it will be tested for impairment every year
But if any time it will be indication that assets nature is changed and it life will be finite. than assets will be amortised in the remaining life and impact will be effective prospectively not retrospectively

Dear Amit,
The life of intangible asset may be indefinite but not infinite. There is a very thin line of demarkation between the word indefinite and infinite. Here we should use word indefinite.
