Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the taxpayer's appeal regarding a city-issued loan benefit classified as 'interest-free usage benefit.' The taxpayer repaid a low-interest municipal loan and claimed the interest differential as a deductible expense for tax year 1987. The court rejected this deduction because the arrangement lacked the essential characteristics of a commercial loan, specifically the absence of a genuine commercial interest rate.

Oliko ns. aravalainaa vastaavasta kaupungin myöntämästä lainasta

"alikorkoisuus hyödyn" nimellä maksettu korvaus verotuksessa

vähennyskelpoinen korkomenona.

Verovelvollisella oli ollut ns. aravalainaa vastaava kaupungin

myöntämä alempikorkoinen laina. Lainaan liittyvistä luovutus-

ja käyttörajoituksista vapautuakseen verovelvollinen

oli verovuonna maksanut kaupungilta saamansa asuntolainan

takaisin ja alikorkoisuus hyötynä ajalta 2.3.1983-31.12.1987

15.130,70 markkaa.

Verolautakunta ei ollut hyväksynyt alikorkoisuus hyötynä

maksettua määrää vähennettäväksi tulosta velan korkoina.

Lääninoikeus katsoi, että valittajan kaupungille alikorkoisuus

hyödyn nimellä suorittamaa korvausta ei voida pitää

verotuksessa vähennyskelpoisena velan korkona.

Verovuosi 1987
