In connection with the interim construction of a building, the taxpayer agreed in 1962 to pay interest on the borrowed money at a rate of 9%, plus "additional interest", in each of the 25 years after 1964 in which it was profitable, of 1% of its gross rental income from the building. The 1% fee incurred in each year arose in the course of borrowing money, and was deductible. "What appears to me to be the test is whether the expense, in whatever taxation year it occurs, arose from the issuing or selling or borrowing ... the words 'in the course of' in section 11(1)(cb) are not a reference to the time when the expenses are incurred but are used in the sense of 'in connection with' or 'incidental to' or 'arising from' and refer to the process of carrying out or the things which must be undertaken to carry out the issuing or selling or borrowing for or in connection with which the expenses are incurred" (p. 6183).
The fee was not a "commission" or "bonus", and was an "expense".
