Are repairs and maintenance to a fixed asset an expense or an increase in value to the asset?

If they are an expense, are they operating profit or non-operating profit.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Clive B, the devil is in the detail. It depend on the type of asset.
Recomend you speak to a accountant.

Hi Clive

Repairs to an asset are an expense.

Whether they are operating or non-operating depends on what the asset is being used.
