    It is an assumption based on the fact that because they are payable at the end of the project there is no profit to set them off against.
    However in P4, there are many places where you have to make assumptions and if you assumed that they were tax deductible (and stated your assumption) then you would still get the marks.
    (Incidentally, the examiner who set this exam has since been replaced – the new examiner is more clear about this sort of thing.)
