The benefit of revenue receipt is enjoyed only during a particular year whereas that of a capital receipt would be capable of being enjoyed for many years.A revenue receipt pertaining to a relevant accounting year is always credited to P & L A/c as its benefits are restricted to that particular year and secondly it does not increase or decrease the value of assets and liabilites of the company. A capital receipt would never find an entry in the profit and loss account.It would directly hit t.he Balance Sheet because it has the effect of either increasing a liability or reducing an asset.
