Deductions (Repairs s11(d)

• Repairs to the machinery, implements, utensils used for trade

purposes.

• Repair is the restoration by renewal of decayed or worn out parts

by re-fixing what has become detached.

• Renewal is different from repair as it is the reconstruction of the

entirety or substantially the whole of the subject matter.

• Material maybe different.

• Repairs is also different from improvement as improvement

increases the income earning capacity and repairs is the restoration.

• For a repair to take place the original structure should have

deteriorated or damaged or weakened.

• Reconstruction of the entirety is not a repair.
