Tax Management with reference to Repair, Replace,

Renewal Or Renovation

REPAIR, REPLACE, RENEWAL OR RENOVATION

The main tax consideration which one has to keep in mind is whether expenditure on repair, replacement or renewal is deductible as revenue
expenditure u/s 30,31, or 371. It the expenditure is deductible as revenue expenditure under these sections, then cost of financing such
expenditure is reduced to the extent of tax save.
On the other hand if such expenditure is not allowed as deduction u/s 30,31 or 371 then it may be capitalized and on the amount so capitalized
depreciation is available if certain conditions are satisfied.

Repair implies the existence of a thing has malfunctioned and can be set right by effecting repairs which may involve replacement of some
parts, thereby making the thing as efficient as it was before or close to it as possible. After repair the thing to which the repair was carried out
continues to be available for use. Replacement is different from repair.
Replacement implies the removal or discarding of the things that was in use, by a different or new thing capable of performing the same
function with the same or greater efficiency. The replacement of a section in a series of machines which are interconnected , in a segment of the
production process which together form an integrated whole may in some circumstances , be regarded as amounting to repair when without
such replacement that unit in that segment will not function. That logic cannot be extended to the entire manufacturing facility from the stage
of Raw Material to the delivery of the final finished product.
Current Repair implies the expenditure must have been incurred to preserve and maintain an already existing asset and the object of the
expenditure must not be to bring a new asset into existence of for obtaining a new advantage.
