Commercial expediency of interest-free advances to a wholly owned subsidiary should be assessed from the perspective of a prudent businessman, without substituting the Revenue's commercial judgment. The note addresses deduction of interest on borrowed funds advanced to a special purpose vehicle formed to acquire land for group business operations. Documentary evidence of the subsidiary's land-acquisition purpose, subsequent lease of the land for the proposed business, and a board-approved start-up interest holiday supports the business purpose of the advance.
