The Revenue indicated that their
general approach to the imple-
men t a t i on of the terms for
borrowings up to 30 November
1985 will be reasonable, taking
into account all the circum-
stances. Hardship cases will be
looked at by reference to the date
of the borrowing and the purpose
for which used.
9 Gene r al
The acountants mentioned they
were anxious to reach a workable
arrangement on Section 36.
However, it had to be understood
that individual taxpayers would
have come to their own decision
on whether the new rules should
be challenged through the appeal
procedures.
