A:n työhön piirimetsälautakunnan metsänhoitajana kuului tarkastusmatkojen tekeminen eri puolille Keski-Suomea. Oman auton käyttäminen näillä matkoilla oli välttämätöntä. Työmatkalla sattuneesta liikennevahingosta aiheutuneita 2.262 mk:n suuruisia auton korjauskustannuksia pidettiin tulon hankkimisesta johtuneina vähennyskelpoisina menoina.

Verovuosi 1981.
