Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the VAT authorities were entitled to estimate turnover under former VAT law because accounting records were incomplete and unreliable.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The negative cash balance and lack of a cash book already made the accounts non-probative, so estimation was justified.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 60 aLTVA, estimation is allowed when documents are missing, incomplete, or the declared results clearly do not match reality. The company did not show the estimate was manifestly wrong.
