Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Administrative Court had functional jurisdiction over the direct appeal against the ESTV decisions.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The conditions for a direct appeal were not met, so the Federal Administrative Court rightly declined to hear the case.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 83(4) MWSTG is an exception to the rule of objection before the ESTV and requires a qualified, detailed reasoning of the ESTV decision. The challenged decisions were too brief, lacked legal subsumption and engagement with the taxpayers' position, and therefore were not directly appealable.
