County Administrative Court allows deduction of operating reserve for loss calculation under Finnish tax law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe County Administrative Court allowed the deduction of an operating reserve when calculating the taxable loss for the 1985 tax year. The district tax board had initially rejected this deduction, but the court found the reserve was properly formed to cover expenses related to income generation and retention. Consequently, the court ruled that the operating reserve must be treated as a deductible expense in the loss determination.
