JurisdictionEngland & Wales
CourtChancery Division
Judgment Date19 July 1996
Date19 July 1996

Chancery Division

Before Mr Justice Rimer

McLaren
and
Mumford (Inspector of Taxes)

Income tax - Schedule D - rent for living accommodation not deductible

Publican's domestic rent not deductible

Expenditure by a publican on rent for living accommodation that he was required to occupy as a term of his tenancy agreement with the brewery was not deductible in computing his profits chargeable to tax.

By virtue of section 74 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 the expenditure was not allowable as a deduction as it was not made wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the publican's trade.

Mr Justice Rimer so held in the Chancery Division when dismissing an appeal by the taxpayer, Mr Alexander W McLaren, from a determination by Hackney general commissioners upholding assessments to Schedule D income tax in respect of his profits for his trade as a publican for the years from 1992 to 1994.

Mr Robert Grierson for the taxpayer; Mr Timothy Brennan for the Crown.
