Revenue expense tattoo expense which are incurred on a normal course of business and do not increase the life of the asset. Revenue expenditure incurred in order to maintain the original efficiency of the asset. when is on the other hand capital expenditure are the expense which are incurred in order to enhance the life of the asset.
