Digital advertising and sales-promotion expenditure on media space, SMS broadcasts, search-engine optimisation, campaign content, marketing videos and social-media strategy is revenue expenditure where it comprises recurring promotional measures, creates no business asset and only improves product promotion through a digital platform. The enduring-benefit test does not make such expenditure capital without an asset or capital-field advantage.

Disallowances of both categories were deleted; the Revenue's appeals failed and supportive cross-objections became infructuous.
