Questão jurídica principal
Whether taxi fares used to transport children to childcare qualify as deductible third-party child-care costs.
Decisão extraída
No. The fares are transport and living expenses, not the pure cost of childcare by third parties.
Fundamentação extraída
Only costs directly connected with third-party care during working or training time are deductible. The disputed fares mainly served to transport the children; the care element was not predominant. Such expenses are privately incurred and not deductible, even if provided by third parties.
