Yes, it can be considered as a capital improvement but also depends on various other factors such as geograhical location, competitors, availability of space, population, etc.

DO you mean removing gas tanks which is already plant in a gas station?YES  can be   consider it as need of more capital improvement cause as far as i know as a capitalise of gas station you need to have more capital to invest and can be choosen to be the highest retailler of all nation wide,,,the more you have tanks of gas the more higher retailler you are....and in order for you to be the best GOLD retailer you need this CAPITAL to improve not only for you to earn more but in order for you to win the compettition as one of a success retailler.

 

in fact the more you have station the more you are competitive to others therefore; it is better to have more gas tanks than removing in your sites

 

thank you

In my opinion, once you capitalise and commission the material, any further expenses on improvement to be debited to normal expenditure and not to Capital expenditure.
