Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the taxpayer was entitled to deduct the full private car commuting costs for 2007
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Once the necessity of private car use was established, the taxpayer was entitled to the standard deduction based on workdays, distance, and mileage rate; proof of every actually driven kilometer was not required absent concrete reasons to doubt the presumed commuting pattern.
Extrahierte Begründung
The mileage rate is the only pauschalized element. Workdays, distance, and private car use may be presumed when public transport is unreasonable; if the authority does not rebut these presumptions with specific reasons, no further evidence of actual kilometers is required.
