Legislator summary

The Administrative Court of Finland allowed a taxpayer to deduct marketing secretary training costs from their 1984 income tax. Although the taxpayer had prior commercial experience, the court determined that the specific course was necessary to maintain professional skills in their current role. Consequently, the expenses were recognized as qualifying for tax relief under the relevant income tax provisions.

Verovelvollinen, jolla oli 15 vuoden konttorityökokemus, mutta

ei aikaisempaa kaupallista koulutusta, oli aloittanut

vuonna 1984 markkinointisihteerin tutkintoon tähdänneen opiskelun

Markkinointi-instituutissa. Siihen nähden, että verovelvollinen

oli työskennellyt jo vuodesta 1982 alkaen osuusmeijerin

markkinointisihteerin tehtävissä, opiskelua pidettiin

hänelle tuossa toimessaan ammattitaidon ylläpitämiseksi

tarpeellisena koulutuksena, josta aiheutuneet kustannukset

hänellä oli oikeus vähentää tulostaan. Verovuosi 1984.

Täysistunto.
