Legislator summary

AI generated

The Federal Court of Finance (BFH) dismissed the non-admission complaint as inadmissible, thereby upholding the lower tax court's judgment and denying the taxpayer's request for admission to revision. The dispute concerned a challenge to the materially correct application of tax law, where the taxpayer argued against the merits of the financial court's decision without identifying specific procedural errors. Relying on Sections 116(3) sentence 3 and 115(2) numbers 1, 2, and 3 of the Fiscal Courts Act (FGO), the court held that general attacks on the substantive correctness of a lower instance decision are insufficient to justify a revision; the complaint must substantiate a specific ground for admission as defined by the statute. Additionally, the court noted the absence of a coherent application for a correction of the judgment pursuant to Section 107 FGO.

Nichtzulassungsbeschwerde

[LEITSATZ]

NV: Allgemeine Angriffe gegen die materiell-rechtliche Richtigkeit der finanzgerichtlichen Entscheidung können die Revisionszulassung nicht rechtfertigen.

[GRUENDE]

Die Beschwerde ist unzulässig. Der Kläger und Beschwerdeführer macht nicht in der gebotenen substantiierten Weise (§ 116 Abs. 3 Satz 3 der Finanzgerichtsordnung --FGO--) einen Revisionszulassungsgrund i.S. von § 115 Abs. 2 Nrn. 1, 2, 3 FGO geltend. Vielmehr wendet sich die Beschwerde allgemein gegen die materiell-rechtliche Richtigkeit des finanzgerichtlichen Urteils. Dies kann jedoch die Revisionszulassung nicht rechtfertigen. Von einer weiteren Begründung wird gemäß § 116 Abs. 5 Satz 2 2. Halbsatz FGO abgesehen.

Ergänzend wird darauf hingewiesen, dass dem Senat ein schlüssiger Antrag auf Urteilsberichtigung i.S. von § 107 FGO nicht vorliegt.
