Key legal question
Whether the 2009 report contained new facts justifying back taxes for tax period 2005
Extracted holding
Yes. The report revealed facts that were not known to the assessing authority at the time of the 2009 assessment and were not required to be derived from the taxpayers' declaration alone.
Extracted reasoning
The taxpayers had declared the shareholder loan account, but the authority was not obliged to compare files of another taxpayer absent special indications. A hidden distribution to a sole shareholder became apparent only through the company tax authority's later examination and report.
