Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The Tax Administration imposed a fine on taxpayers who had filed their income tax return out of time, causing an insufficient assessment. The TA held the sanction excessive in the circumstances and reduced the fine from CHF 9,550 to CHF 4,750.

Omnilex-Regeste

LCP.341; late filing of a tax return leading to an insufficient assessment may justify an administrative fine. In fixing the amount, the authority and reviewing court must assess the concrete circumstances and the degree of fault; the sanction may be reduced where the initial amount is disproportionate.
