Fixed Monthly Fee = No Cap Ex

Budgeting for capital expenditure or “Cap Ex” is essential for a business to operate and grow.

Capital expenditures are normally expenses a business or organisation makes to generate financial benefit over a period of years. Therefore, a capital expense is the cost of assets that have usefulness and can help a company create profits for a period longer than the current tax year. This distinguishes them from operating expenses for assets that are purchased and consumed, or used up, all within the same tax year.

 Capital expenditures represent substantial investments of cash, designed to show a return on investment over a period of years, it is important for companies to carefully plan for them. Nearly all companies budget separately for capital expenditures. Having a separate budget from operational expenses makes it simpler for companies to calculate the respective tax issues. For operational expenses deductions apply to the current tax year, but deductions for capital expenditures are spread out over a space of years and attract depreciation.
