Key legal question
Whether the revised tax assessment of 8 November 2002 validly replaced the assessment of 10 October 2002.
Extracted holding
Yes. The tax authority could revise the assessment until the objection period expired; the new decision was timely issued and sent.
Extracted reasoning
Under direct federal tax rules, the authority may correct a taxation decision until the end of the objection period; notification to the taxpayer is not required for the replacement decision to be valid.
