Can ticket /fine be deducted from tax payment?

I just have a question, anyone know if the tickets ( overspeeding, parking etc) can be deducted from our tax payment?

Logically it should be, asthe money goes to the states no?

No. You're having a laugh... why should you "benefit" from paying lower taxes after breaking the law?

Yes, indeed so. One can also claim for any lost interest or other lost
income that would otherwise have accrued from the money one had
to pay as fines, etc.

If one is required to file a U.S. tax return, one's sex change expenses
are also tax deductible.

Such claims must be itemised on form CHF1000 , one claim per form,
and submitted with the other tax documentation.

Absolutely, that's true. Also your tax payments are tax deductable. And then the net is deductable further and then the net net and so on. And Zuri-sac rubbish bags.
