Respuesta :

Answer:

The amortization period will be 15 years for the tax purposes.

Explanation:

In the case of covenant or any intangible assets ( like patents, copyright etc ) , when it is decided not to compete ( just like in the case given in the question ) , then the amortization can be done for a period of 15 years , starting from the month of acquisition , using the straight line basis.
