Hi, The development costs are capitalised as part of intangible non-current assets. Thanks

Hi, So when it will become tangible? For examble when it relates to a tangible project like new tool machine ,this is a tangible asset so why the developmement cost will not be tangible? Thanks,

Hi, It would be capitalised as normal and depreciated but the depreciation charge would not go through profit or loss during the development phase and instead would be capitalised as part of the intangible. Thanks

So where the depreciation of developments cost will go during the development phase. Thanks Sir.

The costs get capitalised instead of being expensed. Thanks
