Is Website Development a Capital Expenditure

The question “Is website development a capital expenditure?” depends on the purpose and timing of the expense. If your website is developed to generate revenue or provide long-term benefits — such as an eCommerce platform or internal portal — and the costs occur during the application development phase, it may qualify as a capital asset. This means it can be capitalized and amortized over time. However, planning and post-launch work must be expensed.
