The Federal Court has ruled that children’s summer camps can qualify as tax-deductible childcare. The decision overturns a challenge by Geneva’s tax authorities.
The case involved a working couple who claimed deductions for themed summer camps and Wednesday “creative classes” for their two young children.
Authorities had rejected the camp costs, arguing they were not standard childcare.
But the court said the law does not limit deductions to specific facilities and warned that refusing them could disadvantage working parents and undermine efforts to improve work-life balance.
