Abstract

The article reviews the problematic area in tax law as to whether to characterize an outlay as a "repair", which results in a fall tax deduction for the year of the outlay, or as a "replacement", which allows the amortizement of the outlay over a number of years. Professor Jones then discusses a new way to deal with this problem.
