Hydraulic System Replacement of Second-Hand Imported Machine Classified as Capital Expenditure Qualifying for Depreciation

April 26, 2025

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

ITAT adjudicated expenditure classification for machinery hydraulic system replacement. The tribunal determined that replacement of hydraulic system with electrical control panel for a second-hand imported machine constitutes capital expenditure rather than revenue expenditure. Despite partial machine component replacement, the tribunal concluded the expenditure provides enduring benefit and enhances machine functionality. The expenditure was deemed capital in nature, rendering the assessee eligible for depreciation under applicable statutory provisions. The tribunal relied on precedential interpretation and upheld the capital expenditure classification, effectively deciding against the assessee's revenue expenditure claim.
