Question juridique clé
Whether the prerequisites for an assessment by estimation were met due to deficient bookkeeping and missing tax-return documentation.
Solution extraite
Yes. The submitted accounts were not reliable enough to determine the tax factors; the estimated assessment was therefore justified.
Motifs extraits
The bookkeeping contained incorrect transitory entries, altered inventories, missing stock activation, no proper cash book despite high cash turnover, and no credible explanation of financing of living expenses and losses. The taxpayer failed to satisfy her duty of cooperation.
