Question juridique clé
Whether withdrawals from the company account in 2015 were taxable income/liquidation dividends.
Solution extraite
The withdrawals were taxable; the taxpayers failed to prove they were business-related payments made for the company.
Motifs extraits
The taxpayers bore the burden of proving the alleged foreign business payments. They produced only bank statements, no contracts or full documentation, while the company was insolvent and the receivable remained unpaid. The court therefore upheld the assessment as a liquidation dividend/income.
