its a new glass cabin constructed in an office.

cant it be considered as a type of fixture.

Moreover will it creat a difference if the property is a rented property,ie, the premises of office are on rent.

It will not mak any difference even if its on rent so long payments are made by your co. n original bills r in the name of co .

No its not a fixture ...its my view ....since ther is no monetary benefit which is returned by the glass in cabin afetr makin d expenses.

U refer for d defintion of asset as mentioned in AS-10.

i already did...

bt the same is considered to be used for more than 1 year..n moreover adds to the value of construction in the premises

Moreover the criteion for capitalisation does not relates only to monetary benifit arising out of the asset

Hi Ashish,

We can take this in both ways, my opinion is to capitalize cabin expenses as this is a permanent (long term) structure & will get benefitied for long term. Its not one time benefit. If we have any expense like labours temporary houses, we can expense it out as this is temporary thing but Cabin is a long term fixture like other furnitures have.

Glass cabin may be for example for a Managers office, it is better to captalise, again what is the amount if it is not material no point in captilising
