The Administrative Court of Uusimaa dismissed the taxpayer's claim to deduct the cost of a Commodore 64 computer from their 1983 taxable income. The taxpayer argued the purchase was necessary for their role as a section manager in software development, but the court found the expense did not meet the statutory criteria for income-earning costs. Consequently, the deduction was rejected because the expenditure was deemed personal rather than directly tied to generating taxable income.
