Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the tax office was entitled to refuse entry on the objection against the estimated assessment
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The taxpayers had substantiated why they could not yet file a complete return; the absence of a full tax return was not itself a procedural admissibility requirement.
Extrahierte Begründung
For an estimated assessment, the objection must be reasoned and evidence must be named, but the filing of a complete return is not a separate process prerequisite. In special situations, sufficiently substantiated explanations may suffice even if the return cannot yet be completed.
