Sintesi Omnilex

The court upheld the housing office's surtax calculation. Income is to be taken into account in the year of effective receipt, even when it consists in part of salary that should have been paid in earlier years. Because those earlier salary components had not been included previously, the office could lawfully include the full amount in the surtax base for 1995-1996.

Massima Omnilex

LGL 31; housing surtax calculation and determination of relevant income period. Income may be taken into account for the surtax in the year of effective receipt, even if it corresponds in part to salary claims attributable to earlier periods, where those amounts had not previously been considered. The authority is entitled to include the entirety of a lump-sum payment in the income base for the year of payment; no unlawful retroactive allocation is required merely because the underlying entitlement arose earlier.

Résumé

C'est à juste titre que l'OLS a saisi des revenus au titre de l'année correspondant à leur paiement effectif, soit en 1995-1996, malgré le fait qu'il s'agit de salaire qui aurait dû être versé en 1992-1994. L'Office cantonal du logement (OCL) peut valablement prendre en compte, pour le calcul de la surtaxe, l'entier d'un revenu versé en une fois, même si celui-ci comporte pour partie des éléments de salaire qui auraient dû être versés à l'administré durant les années précédentes, ces éléments n'ayant précisément pas été pris en compte antérieurement.

The court accepted the office's method of allocation to the year of payment. Since the earlier salary elements had not been considered in previous periods, their inclusion in the surtax base when paid was permissible.
