Question juridique clé
Whether the taxpayer could deduct the claimed meal expenses as business expenses for 2014.
Solution extraite
The claimed meal costs were only partially deductible; the authority’s allowance of CHF 12,000 was upheld as a reasonable estimate.
Motifs extraits
Receipts proved consumption but not the business context of each meal. Given 280 consumptions and additional weekend meals, full acceptance was unrealistic; the authority’s estimate was sufficiently generous.
