Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant was entitled to exemption from military replacement tax based on his health condition without submitting a current medical certificate
Extrahierter Entscheid
The authority was entitled to require a current medical certificate and additional medical clarification; without the appellant's cooperation, exemption could not be decided and the 2003 tax remained due.
Extrahierte Begründung
The replacement-tax authority acted within Art. 27 WPEG and Art. 28 WPEV by requesting up-to-date medical proof. Dienstuntauglichkeit does not automatically entail exemption; exemption requires an 'erhebliche' health impairment under Art. 4 WPEG. Because the appellant refused to cooperate, he bears the consequences of proof failure.
