The Administrative Court dismissed the taxpayer's claim for a child support deduction based on 1986 tax year income. The taxpayer had paid child support to a minor who turned 16 before the tax year began, arguing for a deduction under the Income Tax Act. The court ruled that such deductions are strictly limited to support paid to minors, rendering the claim inadmissible.

A suoritti verovuonna lapsen elatusta koskevan lainsäädännön

mukaisella tuomiolla vahvistettua elatusapua, jonka maksamisen

A oli aikanaan laiminlyönyt. Elatusapuun oikeutettu B

oli ennen verovuoden alkua täyttänyt 16 vuotta. A:lla ei

ollut oikeutta kunnallisverotuksessa tulosta tehtävään elatusvelvollisuusvähennykseen

eikä valtiolle suoritettavasta

tuloverosta tuolla perusteella tehtävään vähennykseen, koska

nuo vähennykset voidaan tehdä vain alaikäiselle lapselle

suoritetun elatusavun perusteella. Verovuosi 1986.
