| De belastingplichtige houdt indirect aandelen in een BV. De BV heeft een schuld aan de bank in verband waarmee de belastingplichtige zich tot een bedrag van € 150.000 borg heeft gesteld. Nadat de BV in 2010 failliet gaat, vormt de belastingplichtige een voorziening van € 150.000 in verband met de borgstelling. In 2011 betaalt de belastingplichtige uiteindelijk, tegen finale kwijting, € 30.000 aan de bank. Volgens de inspecteur valt € 120.000 van de gevormde voorziening belast vrij in 2011. |
