The accounting treatment for dual purpose property involves allocating costs based on its predominant use. If the primary use is for generating income, expenses are typically treated as revenue expenditure. If it serves both business and non-business purposes, apportionment methods like square footage or time allocation are employed to determine deductible expenses.
