Tax reduction for compensatory pension payments may be applied

A taxpayer inquired whether they could claim a tax reduction for compensatory pension payments when paying the pension of their deceased father's ex-spouse, or if this should be treated as a capital loss. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) ruled that the reduction in the taxable base can indeed be applied to amounts paid in compliance with a court ruling.
