Kernrechtsfrage
Whether actual property maintenance costs and taxes had to be deducted when calculating supplementary benefits.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. For supplementary benefits, building maintenance costs are only deductible as a flat-rate amount, and current taxes or earlier tax debts are not additional deductible expenses.
Extrahierte Begründung
The ELG exhaustively lists recognized expenses; Art. 16 ELV validly limits maintenance costs to a flat-rate deduction. Taxes are not part of the statutory expense catalogue and cannot be deducted as such. Earlier tax debts could only affect assets, but no assets were assessed.
