The note addresses two connected tax issues: allowability of depreciation on goodwill recognised on an intra-group amalgamation, and liability to tax on share buy-back as distributed income. It concludes that the booked goodwill was an artificial creation in a related-party amalgamation lacking independent commercial advantage and real value-generation; accordingly depreciation/amortisation claims were disallowed.
