GENERAL DEDUCTION FORMULA
Not Of A Capital Nature
It must therefore be established whether the expenditure
is part of
the cost to perform the income-earning operations, or
the cost of establishing, improving or adding to the
income-earning structure.
A distinction was made between two types of capital
expenditure:
Floating capital expenditure. This represents a
deductible expenditure (for example, the purchase cost of
stock for which a s 11(a) deduction may be claimed).
Fixed capital expenditure. This represents capital
expenditure which may qualify for capital allowances but
not for a deduction under s 11(a).
