Marketing expenditure supported only by self-made vouchers may be disallowed where third-party evidence is absent, but a complete disallowance may be inappropriate when the expenditure is modest relative to turnover, relates to client visits and outstation costs, and audited books contain no adverse comments. The discussion notes that a restricted disallowance was sustained.

The related misreporting penalty was deleted.
