Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review against the Chief Administrative Court's decision denying a tax refund. The taxpayer argued that a Ministry regulation required updating asset values for local property tax calculations, but the court found this regulation could not apply retroactively to the 1995 tax year. The court held that without a clear statutory basis prior to January 1, 1996, the regulation could not alter the initial asset value for tax purposes during that period.
