Characterisation of software expenditure focused on whether payments were capital or revenue; the payments were held to be recurring annual maintenance, database support and licence renewal costs conferring only annual benefits, with no transfer of ownership, no creation of a software asset or enduring benefit to the assessee's asset base.
