This is not to say that the tax authorities are not entitled to examine the surrounding facts and circumstances to ascertain the true character and nature of the transaction, regardless of the nomenclature given by the parties. - the Act has ceased to operate with effect from 31st March 2000 - Additions deleted - SC
