Which of the following should not be treated as revenue expenditure?

A. Interest on loans and debentures
B. Annual fire insurance premiums on Plant and Equipment
C. Sales tax paid in connection with the purchase of office equipment
D. Small expenditures on long- lived assets, such as ` 20 for a paper weight.

C. A revenue expenditure is an expenditure whose benefit expires within the current
accounting period and is in the nature of recurring and is therefore written off to P&L A/c. Sales tax
paid in connection with the purchase of office equipment is a non-recurring expenditure whose
benefit is going to last for more than one accounting period and hence not a revenue
expenditure
