Facts of the Case
Background
Standard Chartered Bank sought a declaration that income earned from Treasury Bills only accrues for tax purposes on maturity date, not at purchase. The bank had been assessed for additional tax on the basis that discount accrued daily. The parties agreed the facts and that if the application failed, the matter should be remitted for reconsideration of penalties and interest.
