Holding
The Tribunal finds that the scaffolds/props were a permanent feature of the building and cannot be removed unless the building is redone, thus making the expenses a capital expenditure chargeable to tax.
Facts
The Appellant, Kayser Investments Limited, was audited by the Respondent, Commissioner of Domestic Taxes, for the tax period 2016 to 2018. The Appellant filed an objection and a notice of appeal against the amended assessment.
Issues
- Whether the Appellant's objection was valid
- Whether the Respondent's objection decision was supported by law

Reasoning
The Tribunal ruled that the scaffolds were a permanent structure and not a temporary one, making the expenses a capital expenditure. The Appellant's submission that the scaffolds were for reinforcement purposes was not supported.
