Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the disputed garden and property expenses were deductible maintenance costs or partly non-deductible value-enhancing costs.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The taxpayers did not prove the share of deductible maintenance costs. The authority's 60/40 estimate was acceptable.
Extrahierte Begründung
The invoices showed extensive garden works, but they did not reliably distinguish maintenance from value enhancement. Mixed expenses may be estimated; without further evidence the authority's estimate could not be criticized.
