Question juridique clé
Whether the taxpayer's objection against the 2003 tax assessments was filed in time or excusably late.
Solution extraite
The objection was late, and no sufficient reason excusing the missed deadline was shown.
Motifs extraits
The statutory 30-day objection period under federal and cantonal tax law had expired; no military service, illness, absence, or other substantial impediment was established, so the tax office correctly refused to enter into the objection.
