Question
Joe runs his own small business. Unfortunately, one day whilst out visiting a client, he was severely injured in a car accident and left a paraplegic. As a result of the accident Joe has had to make the following modifications to enable him to continue his business.
(i) $3,000 of changes to his car to enable him to drive to work;
(ii) $5,000 for parking expenses immediately next to his office;
(iii) $8,000 for expenses in modifying parts of his office to allow him to work more efficiently, such as ramps and rubber protective strips against the walls.
(iv) New clothes to enable him to be better able to do his work.
(v) Special adapted communications equipment for being able to answer the phone and to be able to talk to his computer to give commands and for it to take dictation (notes from spoken word.
All medical evidence agrees that after his accident Joe could not physically get to work except by car, and by parking close by his work place. All other modifications made, including his special clothing, also make running his business far easier. Real estate experts however suggest the modifications made by Joe to his office have actually decreased the value of the premises, and may well impact on the ease of access for clients, thus perhaps having an adverse impact on the overall profitability of the business.
Are the above expenditures deductible for Joe? Fully explain your answer.
Summary
This question belongs to taxation law and discusses about modifications made by a person may well impact on the ease of access for clients, thus perhaps having an adverse impact on the overall profitability of the business.

Standard of nursing is different in different countries and for that reason getting a country specific nursing assignment help was important for me. What we are being taught in the Canadian universities like Alberta or Ontario is totally different than what is being taught down south in the United States. Luckily, HwA has nursing experts who belong to the country and are aware of the practices here in Canada. I got immense help from them as far as my nursing assignments are concerned and will definitely recommend them to my friends.
All the curves used to confuse me a lot. I was not getting any direction while all of my classmates were cruising through their Monopoly, Oligopoly market equilibrium assignments. Then my friend Judith introduced me to HwA and then I felt much better after taking their economics homework help. They helped me understand and also get good marks.
Material provided by the online mechanical engineering tutor at HwA was absolutely fantastic and just the thing I needed to write my mechanical engineering term paper on Fluid Mechanics. The online mechanical engineering tutor assigned to me helped me understand the crucial details of the topic and that along with the reference material and notes provided helped me to write my term paper and get an A in it!
Designing a motivational strategy as a part of the employee development plan was a tough ask for me as I missed few classes last semester. However, the help I got from HwA was remarkable and they not only offered me the assignment solution but also at the same time helped me to understand the concepts.
I got stuck with my supply chain assignment when I looked online for help. HwA was the only Australian site which responded almost instantly. When the solution also reached my email just on the next day, I was thrilled. The answers were correct and became a fan. From there on I kept on taking help from them.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
