29 September 2013 capital expenditure provides benefit for more than one year. Accordingly, instead of providing full deduction in the year of expenditure, the allowance is made in form of depreciation over useful life of capital expenditure.

29 September 2013 One of the principles underlying the tax rules for deductions is that your income for the year should only be offset by those expenses that contributed to earning that income.
Expenses to acquire or improve a business asset that will last longer than a year are not deductible as business expenses.
