• R&D Investment Expenditures: Annual gross expenditures related to fixed assets used in R&D programs. When they are made, they must be reported fully for the period and not recorded as a depreciation element. It should be subtracted from R&D expenditures, including all depreciation charges/provisions related to buildings, facilities and equipment, whether realized or based on a precedent. This approach is recommended for two reasons: If depreciation (i.e. a payment made to finance the replacement of existing assets) is included in current expenditure, adding capital expenditures causes double counting. In the government sector, no provision is normally made for the depreciation of fixed assets. Consequently, even within a country, comparisons between sectors cannot be made unless depreciation provisions are excluded, and totals for a national series cannot be compiled unless sector totals are based on a comparable basis.
