Question juridique clé
Whether the repayment linked to a bridging pension may be fully deducted from taxable income.
Solution extraite
No. The law contains no special taxation rule for a bridging pension or for the corresponding rent reduction, so a 100% deduction is not available.
Motifs extraits
The earlier taxation of the pension payments had become final and could no longer be reopened by revision. The statutory transitional rules for occupational pensions provide no basis to treat the bridge-pension repayment differently; the scheme is schematic and does not allow the requested full deduction.
