Even if the ATO were to lose the federal government would introduce retrospective legislation to deny claims because there is to much money at stake and they would argue that it was never the governments intention to have the deductions allowable "in the spirit of the legislation" that presently exists. In any case it will be interesting to see if our learned friends on the high court interpret the existing legislation the way the lower courts have until now.
