Admissibility of time series comparison as a method for estimating tax bases
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Court of Finance (BFH) granted leave to appeal the taxpayer's revision, finding that the legal question presented is of fundamental significance and requires clarification by the highest court, while issuing the remainder of the decision without further justification. The dispute concerns tax assessment methodology, specifically whether the "time series comparison" constitutes a suitable method for estimating tax bases. The decisive legal basis is § 115 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 of the Fiscal Courts Act (FGO), which permits the admission of a revision where a question of law is of fundamental importance, paired with § 116 Abs. 5 Satz 2 FGO regarding the simplification of the order.
