Questão jurídica principal
Whether the requirements for a discretionary tax assessment were met because the taxpayer failed to keep proper records.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The cashbook was not kept in an orderly, continuous and verifiable manner, so ex officio assessment was justified.
Fundamentação extraída
A cashbook in a cash-intensive business must record cash receipts and expenses continuously, completely and promptly and be checked by regular cash counts. The taxpayer's files consisted only of daily cash register printouts without documented cash counts or reconciliations.
