Key legal question
Whether the appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was filed within the 30-day deadline.
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed out of time and therefore could not be entered into.
Extracted reasoning
The complete judgment of the Federal Administrative Court was served on 31 January 2014, so the 30-day period expired before the filing on 7 May 2014; the later payment request by ESTV did not extend the deadline.
