Recurring trademark fees paid under a non-exclusive, time-bound licence are revenue expenditure where proprietary rights remain with the licensor. The enduring benefit test requires examination of whether the agreement transfers ownership, exclusive rights, or a lasting capital asset. Limited permission to use a trademark, coupled with an obligation to stop using it on termination, does not create such an asset. Annual fees calculated as a percentage of gross profit are recurring operational payments and remain deductible as revenue expenditure. The disallowance of the licensed trademark fee was therefore deleted.
