Questão jurídica principal
Whether the tax debt-relief request for 2015 should be granted in light of the taxpayer's financial hardship.
Decisão extraída
A 50% debt relief was justified because the taxpayer had a low surplus, and the tax debts could not be repaid within a reasonable time.
Fundamentação extraída
The court applied the usual comparison between income and necessary living costs. Although a surplus existed, it was insufficient to pay the tax arrears within a useful period, especially for an EL recipient.
