Abstract

This 1995 article, co-authored with Joseph M. Dodge, explores why the decision in Simon v. Commissioner, 103 T.C. 247 (1994), was wrong, effectively allowing premature deduction of a capital expenditure and, thus, consumption taxation (as opposed to income taxation).

Keywords: depreciation, antiques, musical instruments, income taxation, consumption taxation

JEL Classification: H20, H24
