Key legal question
Whether the child deduction for an adult child in education was available.
Extracted holding
No; the son's own income was sufficient to cover his living and study costs, so he was not dependent on the mother's support.
Extracted reasoning
Social deductions are typified by average values; the son's taxable net income of CHF 26,721 exceeded the level at which dependency could still be assumed, and the taxpayer did not substantiate exceptional costs or need for support.
