Tax Alert - High Court reinforces purpose-based approach to interest deductions

On 30 March 2026, the High Court (Commercial Division) clarified the deductibility of interest under section 25(3) of the Income Tax Act in respect to a “group”. Court held that the 30% EBITDA interest limitation is not intended to apply to all taxpayers in a group of companies irrespective of the loan circumstances. Consequently, the Court set aside the decision of the Tax Appeals Tribunal which had held that common underlying ownership alone was sufficient to trigger the 30% EBITDA interest limitation.
