A penalty imposed for breach of any law during the course of trade, etc., cannot be described as a commercial loss.
If a sum is paid by an assessee conducting his business, because in conducting it he has acted in a manner which has rendered him liable to penalty, it cannot be claimed as a deductible expenses.
Infraction of the law is not a normal incident of business and, therefore, no expense which is paid by way of penalty for a breach of law can be said to be an amount wholly and exclusively laid for the purpose of the business.
