How should I record start-up costs (not including capital assets) for incorporated business?

Business commenced on Jan 1, incorporated in May. My question is: for start-up expenses between Jan 1 and May 1, such as business name research, stationary and any expenses (nothing about capital assets), should I record them in according accounts say office expenses, repairs, rentals, etc.? Or is there a specific accounts called “start-up costs” only for 1st year so we can deduct as expenses for tax purposes?
