Repairs and maintenance allowable or dis allowable income?

Repairs and maintenance expenses are generally considered allowable expenses for tax purposes. This means that they can be deducted from your taxable income, reducing the amount of tax you owe. However, there are certain rules and limitations that apply to claiming repairs and maintenance expenses as allowable income.

For example, repairs and maintenance expenses must be directly related to the property or business for which they are being claimed. They must also be revenue expenses rather than capital expenses, meaning that they are incurred in the day-to-day operation of the property or business rather than in the acquisition or improvement of a capital asset.

Additionally, repairs and maintenance expenses must be incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the property or business. This means that they cannot be personal expenses or expenses that benefit both the property or business and the individual taxpayer.

Overall, repairs and maintenance expenses are generally allowable income for tax purposes, but it is important to ensure that they meet the necessary criteria and are properly documented in order to claim them as allowable expenses.
