Questione giuridica chiave
Whether amortization on purchased goodwill is ordinary or extraordinary expense for interim taxation under StG §§ 76(3) and 78.
Decisione estratta
Purchased goodwill amortization is an extraordinary expense; it may be considered only once in a tax period and is not deductible in the interim assessment at issue.
Motivazione estratta
The payment for goodwill is a one-time acquisition cost tied to takeover of the business, not a recurring operating expense. Its accounting treatment does not change its tax qualification; the decisive criterion is its extraordinary, non-regular character.
