The Tribunal found that the arrangement amounted to temporary suspension of business, with continued commercial exploitation of business assets, preserving the character of the activity as business. Consequently, the gross receipts were treated as business receipts, and the assessee was entitled to set off brought forward business losses against the current year's gross total income.
