Art. 39 Loi fédérale du 13 octobre 1965 sur l'impôt anticipé (LIA)
LIA; Chapitre 3 Autorités et procédure; B. Procédure; I. Perception de l’impôt; 2. Obligation de donner des renseignements
Art. 39 LIA
Le contribuable doit renseigner en conscience l’AFC sur tous les faits qui peuvent avoir de l’importance pour déterminer l’assujettissement ou les bases de calcul de l’impôt; il doit en particulier: a. remplir complètement et exactement les relevés et déclarations d’impôt, ainsi que les questionnaires; b. tenir ses livres avec soin et les produire, à la requête de l’autorité, avec les pièces justificatives et autres documents.
La contestation de l’obligation de payer l’impôt anticipé ou de faire la déclaration remplaçant le paiement ne libère pas de l’obligation de donner des renseignements.
Si l’obligation de donner des renseignements est contestée, l’AFC rend une décision.
