The Labour Court rejected the appeal filed by the Pardia union against the Ministry of Finance's refusal to grant tax exemption for its activities. The union argued that its work for members constituted charitable activities eligible for exemption, while the Ministry maintained that the specific actions did not meet the legal criteria. The court ruled that the union's activities were primarily political in nature and thus fell outside the scope of the exemption provided by the relevant tax law.
