Capitalization of software
All spending by businesses and governments on software will be treated as a capital expenditure. Previously, only a small portion, less than 20% of these expenditures, was treated as such. This will be a net addition to GDP, both in level and in growth, in the years in which software expenditures grow faster than other components of final expenditure. Treating software as a capital expenditure has been introduced by most countries, including the United States, within the last couple of years.
