Whether the taxpayer could deduct the paid mortgage interest as private debt interest despite not owning the property alone.
Yes. As a joint and solidary co-debtor under the mortgage contracts, she had her own debt and could deduct the interest actually paid by her in the agreed internal share.
The Court held that solidarity presupposes multiple debtors and that the tax deduction depends on a personal debt actually bearing interest, not on ownership of the property. Payment details such as labeling the transfers as rent were only indicators of settlement mechanics. The internal allocation of the debt service was proven at 40%, and no abuse or tax avoidance was shown.
