Se incurre en gastos solo cuando el gasto se percibe como algo negativo. Los medios de comunicación utilizan habitualmente la expresión incurrir en gastos como simple sinónimo de "gastar" [...] y no de "gastar indebidamente", que es su significado preciso. [...] Por lo tanto, son adecuadas frases como «Se expone que la petrolera incurrió en gastos que superaban su capacidad institucional» o «Incurrió en gastos excesivos en sobresueldos y dietas» [...] 2, record 2, Spanish, - incurrir%20en%20gastos
