Contents:

Capital expenditure covers all expenditure which increases the value of a higher education provider's (HEP's) (or a subsidiary undertaking's) fixed assets, including the purchase of land, buildings, and those items of equipment which are included in the HEP's register of fixed assets and shown in the balance sheet. The capital expenditure should thus be consistent with the additions to fixed assets shown in a note to the balance sheet.

Capital expenditure should include fees and irrecoverable VAT.
