English translation:required to be capitalized
Explanation:
This has to do with tax deductions. If an expense is "aktiveringspliktig", it cannot be deducted as an ordinary expense. The amount must be amortized over a period of years. An example might be a structural addition to the premises. See the first link for a Norwegian example. Second link is for the English.

I don't care much for the "mandatory capitalization costs" that was offered on ProZ previously: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/norwegian_to_english/accounting/19...
