Why is goodwill called intangible asset? Explain by Md Rashedul Islam(213-15-4308) - Thursday, 24 November 2022, 8:26 PM Number of replies: 0 Goodwill is an intangible asset because it cannot be touched or felt. On the other hand, fictitious assets are expenses or losses that have yet to be charged to the profit. As a result, it is impossible to classify it as tangible or intangible. Permalink
