Verovelvollinen vaati diabeteksen vuoksi noudatettavasta

erikoisruokavaliosta aiheutuneiden kustannusten perusteella

veronmaksukyvyn alentumisvähennystä.

Lääninoikeus hylkäsi valituksen, koska verovuonna käytössä

olleen suosituksen mukaisen diabetesruokavalion kustannukset

eivät olennaisesti ylittäneet tavanomaisia ruokailukustannuksia

eikä veronmaksukyvyn alentumisvähennystä ollut

tällä perusteella myönnettävä. Verovuosi 1986.
