Kernrechtsfrage
Whether private withdrawals and natural benefits from the farming accounts must be counted as income for supplementary benefits as of 2016-01-01.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The private withdrawals were not to be imputed as income; the claim must be recalculated without the CHF 14,261.40 private withdrawals and CHF 2,880 natural benefits.
Extrahierte Begründung
The witness explained that the private accounts served only to separate private and business items in one cash flow. Natural benefits were already reflected in taxable operating income, and the private withdrawals did not reduce business income but only affected equity. The tax treatment was accepted unchanged and, under the unity of the legal order, could be followed for EL purposes where it affected tax consequences.
