Sintesi Omnilex

The taxpayer, who was employed regularly during the whole year, challenged a source-tax calculation based on an hourly wage. The court held that source tax must be assessed on annual income and not on a wage rate tied to the number of hours worked. The fact that the taxpayer received pay corresponding to 244 teaching hours did not justify treating the work as intermittent or limiting the tax base to an hourly calculation. The assessment was therefore corrected.

Massima Omnilex

RALCP 1 al. 1; RALCP 2 al. 2 — source tax calculation; where the taxpayer is employed regularly throughout the year, the tax basis is the annual income actually earned. A calculation by reference to an hourly wage is improper merely because remuneration corresponds to a number of hours worked; the decisive criterion is the continuity of the employment relationship, not the form of hourly remuneration.

Résumé

L'imposition à la source doit être calculée sur la base des revenus annuels du contribuable et non selon un taux applicable à un salaire horaire, même si l'intéressé a reçu un salaire correspondant à 244 heures de cours annuels. Il n'est en effet pas contesté que le contribuable a été employé régulièrement durant toute l'année.
