Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 1999 cantonal tax reassessment and estimation were unlawful or arbitrary.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The reassessment and estimation were upheld because the bookkeeping was materially and formally deficient and reliable assessment data were missing.
Extrahierte Begründung
Incomplete accounts destroyed the presumption of correctness of the recorded figures; the authorities could estimate taxable income, and the company failed to show the estimate was manifestly wrong.
