True

Explanation:

Expenditures is the expenses made over the course of an action inorder to achieve the desired results. In maintenance of a property, the expenditure could be for ordinary repairs (plumbing, painting, minor electrical repairs) or capital expenditures (house renovation, major electrical wiring, house re-modelling e. t. c).

It is true that, ordinary repairs and maintenance of a property are not added to the original basis in the determination of the property's values as a result of the level of financial expenses carried out.
