Court allows deduction of public transport costs for weekend trips to special work locations instead of private car costs.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Administrative Court ruled that an employee working at special locations in different towns must deduct public transport costs rather than private car expenses for weekend trips. The taxpayer argued for using their own vehicle costs, but the court determined that public transport rates are the correct benchmark for such travel. Consequently, the deduction was permitted based on public transport costs to ensure uniformity in tax treatment for cross-town work assignments.
