Questão jurídica principal
Whether the taxpayer may deduct car commuting costs for 2014.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The court held that the commute by private car was tax-deductible because time saving exceeded the relevant threshold and the expenses were actually incurred.
Fundamentação extraída
The decisive factors were the time gain and availability of public transport. Twix Route showed a daily time saving of 60 minutes. The taxpayer credibly demonstrated actual costs with corrected employer confirmation, vehicle records, and parking availability. Employer compensation for the commute was no longer established.
