Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the 2005 social plan provision remained commercially justified and deductible
Decisione estratta
Only the IFRS-justified portion remained deductible; the difference between the booked provision and the IFRS amount was no longer commercially justified and had to be added back.
Motivazione estratta
The original provision was justified in 1999, but by 2005 the workforce situation and business outlook no longer supported the higher amount; general business risk and future strategic uncertainties were not deductible as provisions.
