The £49m is obviously directly connected with generating an income. That is not a very difficult statement to prove I would wager.

BBC News - Today - McLaren £49m 'cheat' fine is tax deductible
Well duh.
Financial institutions write off all sorts of loans that they should never ethically have lent out, parking fines are normally deductible in the hands of delivery companies and I forget where but there is a case which a prostitute successfully argued according to ICTA 88 that certain assets have an estimated life and that there should be an allowable deduction for depreciation on them.
Even income which is subject to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 might be defined as assessable or " "taxable income" under ICTA 88 and as such, expenses incurred in generating that income are deductible - petrol used in the getaway car in a bank job, for instance.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
