Glossary/Uniform capitalization rules

What is Uniform capitalization rules?

In short

The uniform capitalization rules require producers and many resellers to include in inventory or other property not only direct costs but also an allocable share of indirect costs, including some administrative costs.

Key takeaways

  • The capitalized costs are recovered through cost of goods sold or depreciation.
  • Businesses that meet the small business gross receipts test are exempt.
  • Tax inventory can therefore differ from book inventory.
