Commission paid to a promoter and full-time working director was held not deductible where the assessee failed to show a direct nexus between the payment and services separate from his ordinary duties. The Tribunal found that his day-to-day involvement in marketing and business development fell within his existing role, and that a turnover-linked commission capped in amount was not justified as an independent business outgo when salary and remuneration were already paid for the same work.
