Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claimed renovation and sanitation costs were value-increasing expenses deductible for property gain tax.
Decisão extraída
No. The taxpayer did not prove that the expenses were value-increasing; they were treated as maintenance and renovation costs.
Fundamentação extraída
The invoices, photographs, and payment evidence were not convincing. The work described replacement and repair work, not a complete economic reconstruction or total redevelopment. Burden of proof for tax-reducing facts lies with the taxpayer.
