Hi,
Can someone tell me whether the pre-incorporation expenses are to be claimed in 5 years equally (balance showed in Misc. Exp. in Balance Sheet) or can it be taken as expense in the first year itself? Whether it is mandatory to do so? Need its reference as per accounting polices as well as Companies Act 2013.
Pre-incorporation Expense means all costs incurred in the formation of a firm (Incorporation or Registration of a company), it will include advertising, promotional activities, employee training, etc.,This includes all expenses like purchasing material, management expenses for formation etc. This expenses are shown under the head Misc Expenditure and are amortized over a period of 5 yrs as a deferred tax asset.
