The Supreme Administrative Court allowed the taxpayer's claim to exclude foreign tax data from inheritance tax assessment. The foreign state had committed to providing tax assistance solely for criminal cases, yet the Finnish Tax Administration attempted to use those specific data points for civil inheritance tax purposes. The court ruled that since the foreign state's obligation was strictly limited to criminal matters, the data obtained under that framework could not legally serve as a basis for civil tax collection.

Kun otettiin huomioon kansainvälisestä oikeusavusta rikosasioissa annetun lain 27 §:n 1 momentti ja kun vieras valtio oli sitoutunut antamaan Suomelle oikeusapua ainoastaan rikosasioissa, vieraan valtion oikeusapuna antamia tietoja ei olisi tullut käyttää lahjaverotuksessa. Perustetta lahjaverotuksen toimittamiseen ja veronkorotuksen määräämiseen ei rikosasiaan vieraalta valtiolta saatujen tietojen perusteella ollut.
