Questão jurídica principal
Whether the clinic stay costs were deductible as medical expenses without sickness-insurance approval
Decisão extraída
Yes. Medical certificates from two doctors were sufficient; approval by the health insurer was not required.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that deductible illness-related costs are those medically necessary and proven by suitable documents. It found that two doctors had confirmed the necessity of inpatient treatment and that the insurer's assessment was not a prerequisite for tax deductibility.
