Replacement and sharpening of knife sets is recurring; commercial slicers and mincers depreciate.
Council food-handler renewals, HACCP for wholesale, halal/kosher accreditation if relevant.
Built into stock COGS — daily stock-take captures it. Separate write-off would double-count.
Meat taken home for personal consumption is a private-use adjustment, not a deduction.
