Hallmarking and IPO expenses

Treatment of such

Didn't find your answer?

Hi all

Very brief question(s).

Within a client's accounts (producing household products) we have two minor expenses:

£24 paid for Hallmarking

£70 paid to the Intel Prop Office for registration of designs protection

In your opinions, should this be treated as an asset or revenue expenditure?

I'll leave others to reply to this as can't really do the question justice for it's inconsequence

Would you capitalise a £24 spent on a wireless keyboard. Or £70 on printer?

Expenses, legal & professional, for me.

Spend a few k and I might think about it.

But, generally, we favour expensing unless we really can't.

You mention 'client'.

If you really are in practice, and feel the need to ask such a question, well, quite frankly, you shouldn't be.

How about capitalising it as an intangible and writing it off straight line over - say - ten minutes ?
