The taxpayer had accepted a grant toward the building of a new club house. They sought rollover relief on the proceeds of sale of the former club house. The inspector sought to restrict the claim to exclude the benefit of the grant.
Held: The grant was not to be taken into account. Section 50 did not apply to reduce the allowance claimed under section 152. Nothing in either section referred to the other so as to establish a link, and the case of Watton established that there was none.
