Legislator summary

The Administrative Court ruled that expenses for a university department head's doctoral promotion were deductible only for travel and equipment rental, while party costs were not. The court determined that costs directly tied to earning or preserving income qualified under the Tax Act, whereas social entertainment expenses did not. Consequently, the taxpayer was allowed to deduct specific business-related expenditures but rejected claims for celebratory meal costs.

Verovelvollisen virkavelvollisuuksiin korkeakoulun osaston

johtajana kuului osallistua korkeakoululla toimitettuun tohtoripromootioon.

Osallistumisen edellyttämän frakin ja siihen

liittyvien asusteiden vuokrausmenot olivat siten tulon hankkimisesta

tai säilyttämisestä johtuneita menoja. Sen sijaan

taksikustannukset tohtoripromootion juhlaillallisille sekä

juhlaillallisille osallistumisesta aiheutuneet menot olivat

verotuksessa vähennyskelvottomia elantokustannuksia.

Verovuosi 1982.
