The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the company's request to deduct prior losses from the 1994 tax year despite a temporary loss deduction permit. The company claimed its manufacturing business continued as part of a multinational group, but the tax authority found its operations had shifted to leasing a building by spring 1995. The court ruled that the permit was invalid because the company's submitted information regarding business continuity did not match the actual change in activity.

Tuloverolain 122 § 2 momentti; The court held that a loss deduction permit is conditional upon the taxpayer's business activity continuing as described in the application, and a material change in the nature of the business invalidates the permit.

Yhtiö oli 1.12.1994 hakenut tuloverolain 122 §:n 2 momentin mukaista lupaa saada vähentää verovuoden 1994 verotuksessa aikaisemmin vahvistettuja tappioita 30.12.1994 tapahtuvasta osakekaupasta huolimatta. Hakemuksen mukaan yhtiön toimialana oli varastokalusteiden ja muiden metallialan tuotteiden valmistus ja myynti ja toiminta tuli jatkumaan osana kansainvälistä monialakonsernia. Verohallitus antoi 10.3.1995 yhtiölle poikkeusluvan tappioiden vähentämiseen. Yhtiön toiminta oli kuitenkin keväällä 1995 tuotannollisen toiminnan siirryttyä samaan konserniin kuuluvalle toiselle yhtiölle muuttunut yhtiön omistaman kiinteistön vuokraukseksi. Vuoden 1994 verotusta toimitettaessa voitiin verohallituksen lainvoimaisen poikkeuslupapäätöksen estämättä jättää tappioita vähentämättä, kun yhtiön hakemuksessaan esittämät tiedot toiminnan jatkumisesta eivät vastanneet todellista tilannetta.
