Finland denied tax deduction for spouse's income due to non-resident status under Nordic tax treaty.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Administrative Court dismissed the taxpayer's claim for a spousal income deduction in the 1984 tax year. The husband worked in Sweden all year without Finnish income, while his wife was taxed in Finland and claimed the deduction. The court ruled that the deduction was not applicable because the husband was considered a non-resident under the Nordic tax treaty, negating the condition for the benefit.

A, som under hela året 1984 arbetat på svenskt fartyg, hade
ingen inkomst i Finland. Hans beskattningsbara inkomst vid
statsbeskattningen och den därav utgående inkomstskatten
skulle ha varit högre än hans makas, men med beaktande av det
nordiska skatteavtalet påfördes mannen inte inkomstskatt i
Finland. Makan, som påförts inkomstskatt var berättigad till
försörjaravdrag. Skatteår 1984.
57 § 1 mom. 1 punkten och 57 § 2 mom. L om skatt på inkomst
och förmögenhet.
