Questão jurídica principal
Whether income for a couple newly registered during the year may be annualized until year-end for tax calculation, consistently with equality of treatment.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The administration correctly annualized the income earned during the period up to the end of the year; this merely affects the tax rate and does not tax unrealized income.
Fundamentação extraída
The method follows the purpose of the statute and does not violate equality, because it only extrapolates the realized income over the period and does not include fictitious income.
