Gunn, M.

Sarsfield v Dixons Group plc and others - 1998 - Taxation 142(3684) 26 November 1998, 225-226(2) .

Dixons Group plc built a warehouse for storing goods which were sold in separate shops. The business of dealing with the stored goods in the warehouse was then passed to a subsidiary company. The Court of Appeal refused a claim for industrial buildings allowances on the grounds that the warehouse was ancillary to the purposes of the retail shops. The Company`s appeal to the Commissioners and High Court was allowed, and the Revenue therefore appealed to the Court of Appeal. Appeal allowed.
