Whether alternative repair costs or electric facility repair costs constitute capital expenditures;
Summary of Judgment
If the contents of the building repair project are replaced by a new different day, and it is a repair for restoring the original state at the time of construction by newly replacing the worn-out electric facilities and for fully performing the functions of external walls protection or electric facilities, it cannot be deemed as repair extending the lifespan of the building or increasing the value of the fixed assets due to the alteration or improvement of the use of the building. Therefore, the replacement repair cost or electric facility repair cost is not a capital expenditure but a beneficial expenditure.
