Expenditure defined as payment irretrievably gone; meaning depends on context under tax law and consumption concepts clarified by judicial definitions.

Expenditure denotes the laying out or disbursement of money or the consumption of property, with its precise meaning governed by context; in tax law the concept emphasizes 'spending' as paying out money that is gone irretrievably, while contextual analysis may treat expenditure as consumption or use.
