Deduction of outgoings for purposes of computation ‑ Whether political contributions constitute outgoings within the meaning of clause (j) of sub‑section (4)
Show AI Summary
Political contributions as outgoings: deductible only when made for commercial expediency under illustrative statutory language.
Contributions by a company to a political party or for a political purpose constitute outgoings for computation under clause (j) of sub section (4) only when made for commercial expediency; the illustrative phrase "outgoings inclusive of..." is not exhaustive, so lack of a specific reference to the enabling provision does not prevent such treatment.
