Questione giuridica chiave
Whether discretionary tax assessment in the relevant tax year excludes entitlement to cantonal premium reduction
Decisione estratta
Yes. Because the claimant failed to file the required tax return and was assessed at discretion for the relevant year, the statutory conditions for premium reduction were not met.
Motivazione estratta
Eligibility is based on the last final tax assessment for the relevant year. Under cantonal law, no entitlement exists where the person failed to file a tax return despite being obliged to do so. The discretionary assessment could not serve as a reliable basis for determining need.
