Whether loss on sale of assets & Loss on Assets written off should be shown below the line in Profit & Loss a/c? (i.e after Profit before Tax?)
Or can that be included in part of P&L Schedules in Administration expenses?
Please clarify......

Loss on sale of assets or loss on assets written off should be separetely shown under the Expenditure column, it should not be shown under the head of Administrative expenses because it is not an expense for the business but a loss which should be shown under expenditure column of the Profit & Loss account.
