The administrative court confirmed the correction of five years of erroneous source-tax assessments by means of monetary restitution. It held that the restitution claim is not reserved to the employer alone; the debtor of the taxable benefit also has standing to obtain the correction and restitution. The decision thus upheld the lower authority’s approach to rectifying the source-tax error.
