Supreme Court: Non-Compete Fees Qualify as Deductible Revenue Expenditure under Income Tax Act - (22 Dec 2025)

DIRECT TAXATION

Supreme Court held that payment of a non-compete fee does not lead to acquisition of any capital asset or change in the business’s profit-making structure and therefore qualifies as allowable revenue expenditure under Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
