    It says in Note 4 that the building was in usable stage at the time of purchase. The renewal for the clothing shop is 2200 and for a private flat is 1050.
    As I understand , 2200 should be noted as not allowable because of it being an improvement to an asset and becoming capital expenditure. And then, 1050 is regarded as not allowable ,being a private matter
    But in the answer, only 1050 is regarded as not allowable and included in the add back: disallowed expense.
    Can you explain why 220 is not included in the Add Back: Disallowed Expenses session.

    Thank you in advance.

    Decorating is not an improvement and is allowable for a business expense

    no worries – just remember capital items improve and revenue items repair – if, in the exam, you are not sure then decide and write a note for the marker explaining what you decided and what rule you applied.
