Question juridique clé
Whether the CHF 100,000 pension buy-back could be deducted from source-taxed income
Solution extraite
No. The buy-back was not deductible because it constituted tax evasion.
Motifs extraits
The taxpayer knew she would end employment and leave Switzerland one week later. Buying back pension years in a departing pension fund had no genuine occupational-pension purpose and served only to obtain a substantial tax saving.
