However, in case of deferred revenue expenditure, it is written off over the following 3 to 5 years from the year incurred.\tThe benefits from capital expenditure accrue for a more extended period in the business for like 10 years or more. On the other hand, the benefits from deferred revenue expenditure are reaped between 3 to 5 years of the business.\tCapital expenditure is incurred, which helps in the creation of the asset. Since the investment done helps in the creation of assets, these can be created into cash as and when required by the business. These\xa0revenue expenditures\xa0are incurred mostly on sales promotion and advertising activities, and therefore, cannot be converted to cash.\tCapital Expenditure is done towards any investment, which increases the earning capacity of a business. It may mean purchasing an asset for the business like the purchase of a plant, machinery, building, copyrights, etc. On the other hand, revenue expenditures mean to make an investment that maintains the earning capacity of the business.
