Is furniture an asset or expense?

1 Answer
Is furniture an asset or expense?
Furniture is generally an asset rather than an expense. When a business purchases furniture, it can continue to use it over the long term, so it fits the definition of an asset. If you're inquiring about furniture's classification for tax purposes, consult a knowledgeable tax professional for specific guidance.
