Question juridique clé
Whether the full retroactive disability pension amount, including amounts transferred directly to the social welfare authority, is taxable income for 2006.
Solution extraite
Yes. The pension entitlements were taxable when acquired, and the direct transfer to reimburse social assistance did not change taxability.
Motifs extraits
Under harmonized tax law, disability pensions from first and second pillar schemes are generally fully taxable. The set-off against social assistance debts is a non-deductible debt repayment expense, not a deductible earning expense or authorized social deduction.
