Question juridique clé
Whether the tax appeals should have been declared inadmissible for failure to pay the advance of costs in time
Solution extraite
The federal appeal is allowed because the cantonal court lacked sufficient findings to decide whether the failed foreign bank transfer was attributable to the taxpayer and whether the error was excusable.
Motifs extraits
The lower court did not establish whether the amount reached the Swiss banking sphere designated by the authority, nor the cause of the failed transfer. Those facts were necessary to assess arbitrariness in applying cantonal procedural law.
