Software licence, database support and related IT expenditure was held to be revenue in nature because it secured only a limited right to use software, with no acquisition of proprietary or copyright rights and no independent enduring asset. Applying the principle from Engineering Analysis, the Tribunal treated the payments as facilitating day-to-day business operations and upheld deletion of the disallowance.
